"You can't just eat food out of dumpsters, and live out of a van for the rest of your life!"

Hardcore and punk is undefinable. If you aren't a part of it, you will never understand. So many things that are deemed unacceptable in society, are common courtesy in the hardcore and punk community. Your father wouldn't let someone he just met 10 seconds ago sleep on his floor, and use his shower, and eat his food, would he?

It kind of makes me mad that people don't understand the whole concept of it. But, then again, I'm glad that people don't understand, because it makes the whole idea of being a "family" and helping out people when they really need it more personal. Sure there are idiots and insane people in the hardcore scene and people that couldn't give two shits about where the bands go's after a show, but there are also people that give money out of their own pockets to bands that were screwed out of a show, or people that let bands stay at their house for 3 days because their van was hit by a drunk driver. Even if you aren't in a band: You volunteer to carpool with someone to a far away show, or even pick someone up that fell while singing along.

I would just hate to see the hardcore/punk scene fall to fashion and popularity like every other genre of music out there today...

Dude, nice blog. I agree 100%,
If people don't get the scene, it's best to stay out.
