It's been a very very very long time since I've gone to a show, I think my last one was Agnostic Front. In a way I miss it, in another I don't. I rarely listen to much hardcore anymore, I've been listening to a lot of metalcoreish stuff, Heaven Shall Burn, the new BTBAM, XArmed for BattleX, Martyr AD. Right now listening to Blood for Blood, and XtryantX tonight in the car is the first time I've listened to hardcore in a long time. It's a very very very weird feeling though. For 10 years I was all about hardcore, it was my life and who I was. It molded me into who I am today. I was going to 6-7 shows a month. What do you do when it's all of a sudden not that big in your life anymore? I'd love to get back into it, I've tried to go to shows or listen to the new "in" bands but I just can't do it, I just don't feel it anymore. It's a very very weird feeling, very empty feeling kinda. 10 years is a very very long time! I know that it'll always be a part of me, there will always be a place in my heart for it and I know that I'll always hear an occasional song that gets my blood pumping and wanting me to windmill and spin kick, but I just can't go at it whole heartedly anymore.
I'd like to make it to a show though, see how things have changed since I was last at a show. Seems like the hardcore scene is and always has been ever changing, one minute it's heavy breakdowns, one minute it's 2 stepping, one minute it's metal. I'm interested to see what the next trend's going to be.
