I'm gonna slash your tires and your throat because I'm hardcore

Hello Scene girls and boys, with your tight jeans, bandanas, straightened hair to the side, "I'm in a really bad band, but think I'm great" attitude, bad attempts at "hardcore dancing", stupid unnecessary facial piercings, suction tight thirft store t-shirts, and strange obsessions with your awful myspace and the terribly pathetic emo picture of yourself you have on it. Are you still suffering from those cuts you got last night from that show from that dude with the hair? Are you telling everyone how awesome it all was? Are you stoked because you went to this show of a band that YOU just discovered and they're "Fucking awesome...So intense, man."? When are you going to wake up to the stench of your own unwashed clothes that reak of smoke and B.O. and realize that no one is scene, nor are there "hardcore/metal" kids? So stop trying so hard.
This complaint isn't really directed at some people's measley attempts to look scene/hardcore...its more directed at how these people say, "music is my life" and then get all emotional about it, but i figured I had to introduce it with some scene kid bashing. (I wasn't even aware people were still trying to be scene/hardcore/emo etc... but I was wrong. Very wrong.)
These kids can pop up anywere and they find themselves so elite. And why they think they are elite... I don't know. They sit around talking about music and the sweet show they went to.
These kids or anyone that finds themselves smeared in their own shit of music obsession is annoying. People who love music-thats normal. People who can't stop talking about one certain band or how amazing this music is and how connected they are to it and how it moves them and gets all riled up if you say one little comment about said band because they have been listening to them longer than you and know more than you.
Its like these kids think they are better because you might have just started liking Backstreetboys, but they liked them back when they were playing concerts in school gyms. Ok, these kids don't like BBS, but they do like equally as bad as music...let's take a look why don't we?
I find these kids listening to music like -Fall out boy, Taking back sunday, Yellowcard, Coheed and Cambria....ETC.. what is the allure of high pitched girly voiced guys playing sappy music about how some girl ripped out his heart and ate it?
Ok fine. I realize that the kids who think they are scene or hardcore don't listen to that shit either, but they take so much pride in the fact that they like all these obscure bands and that they can sit around with all their "scene" friends and talk about the bands and how "scene" they all are. And the metal kids, they think they are so "hardcore" because they listen to music about killing people or lighting people on fire and wear stupid wrist bands, and punch people for no reason. They are all just as bad as that stupid PUNK revolution that happened a few years ago. Punk/Emo/Hardcore/Scene is not a way of life, its a kind of music. If you are unable to figure out who you are, associating yourself what you think is a way of life but isnt at all, is not going to help. So stop drowning in your terrible music obsessions, learn how to actually play the guitar and not those 4 stupid chords you know, pull your head out of your ass and take a look around because NO ONE CARES THAT YOU THINK YOU'RE SCENE, etc.
