I think a vast majority of us are pretending to care about supposed hardcore ethics. The whole "hardcore family" thing is really a big joke to me. I'm a firm believer in the idea that there is no such thing as a scene. I believe in people and bands on an individual basis, and I personally believe that thats the best way to go about considering anything. I've been going to shows since I was 14 or so and the idea of scene unity used to sound great to me. Now it's 5 years later and I couldn't care less. I hear all these kids clammering about "support the scene" and it usually means "come see my shitty band", or "don't kick me in the head". I for one have just lost a whole lot of faith in people in general because of the "scene". When my band goes out and does a show I used to say to myself, gee I hope everyone loves us and has a great time. Now I'm really just in this for myself, my band and our small group of friends and supporters. In this whole discussion I've probably seemed a little insensitive to the idea of innocent kids getting hurt. But in all honesty if I turned around at the end of our set and saw nothing but a room full of dead kids I'd probably just laugh till my heart exploded. <br> <br>theres a ton of kids out there who really DO care about this music. And it makes my day when someone like that has a kind word to say to me. but those people are lost in a sea of others who are just there for appearances, or to fill some sort of lame psychological void in their life. i don't need those people, and I hope they choke. <br> <br>When I goto a show and everyone is having a good time dancing getting along no fights helping eachother out smiling and going nuts for the love of the music it is one of the greatest joys i've ever known. but those shows are few and far between, and those people are a fraction of something much larger and uglier. so i'll reserve my unity pride and respect for those who earn it, not simply those who pay a cover charge.
