Re: ramallah
A typical night at a Detroit hardcore/punk show in 1996 sounded something like this:
MCHC REPRESENT, BRAH! SCOTTY KARATE AND SHIT, DUDE! HE, LIKE, GOES TO SHOWS AND DOES BACKFLIPS AND STUDIED SICK OF IT ALL FOR LIKE 13 YEARS TO LEARN EVERY SINGLE SWING POSSIBLE, BRAH! WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HIM!
Like, maybe I'm a dumbfuck.. but I never understood jocking 'scene regulars'. Maybe the guy in the band. Sure. He's up on stage doing his thing and getting a room full of people to fucking MOVE. But the guy who shows up and does backflips? C'mon.
I just never understood why 'swings' were considered more 'hardcore' and 'tough' than 'skanking'. Sure, you might be able to beat some ass, and you've got a lot of tattoos, but you're still pretending to start an invisible lawn mower and call it dancing. I mean, you could bite my cock off while you're sucking my dick, but at the end of the day you're still sucking my dick, comprende?
Alright, I'm just rambling.
