fuck the scene
fuck it good and hard.
im looking at the shit the people in the ska scene are giving the new bands. not my band, but those both local and far away who are doing something new. you know, i hate a lot of scenes because of the elitist attitudes that so many of them generally have. maybe i didnt see it before, but it seems to me that the ska scene has surpassed what most other scenes have as far as elitism. i could be wrong, and if i am, im sorry. i thought the worst thing in the world was when all the ska kids went indie and fauxcore. you play a show and you swear like you've become the moving units overnight cause everyone watching you is dressed all scene, with the exception of a few cool oldschoolers. well, thats not the worst thing. the worst thing is this fucking elitism.
let me tell you something. the third wave is gone. GONE. yea, it was a nice run and an AWESOME style which i will always love, but it is in the past now. theres a new wave forming, and the bands who are on the forefront of it are getting shit from these elitists because its not third wave or 2 tone or trad. fuck that. when 2 tone came around, do you think all the hardcore trad fans liked it? probably not. and you can bet your ass the trad and 2 tone people thought third wave was a bunch of shit when it came out. fuck, they still do. all i heard growing up in the 3rdwave scene was how everyone hated how the trad kids did nothing but talk shit on third wave, yet today i see so many of them start this shit with the newer types of ska.
to all you third wave rockers out there. prepare yourselves. in the near future, we are going to be losing a lot of bands. reel big fish, mustard plug, catch 22, pretty soon, these bands and more are going to be gone. theyve been around for too long, and at some point, everyone has to settle down.
the newer styles of ska are on the uprise, but not without the shittalking from the other waves. im not saying everyone has to like it because its ska, im saying everyone should shut up and stop trying to destroy these bands with their shit talking and malcontent.
heres the bottom line: ska isnt dead, but its changing. it always does.
