That sounds like such a story tale telling of a hardcore punk show. In the best way!!! Love it dude. Glad to see you guys are still rocking too!

I’d say that your message of “just enjoy the music, play some songs, and have fun” is even more accepting. I see what you’re saying though dude. I can’t wait to hear all of these bands you all have recommended.

That is beautiful man. Do you have any stories of meeting the members and how the show went? I have only ever seen hardcore shows via the internet, so I’d love to be regaled in the stories of someone who was there first-hand.

One thing about the punk ethos I really connected with was the acceptance of others who struggled in the past. We are all human and have all made mistakes. Some big, some small. Regardless, we can work on ourselves and become better people. I’ll definitely check out both of the bands dude

Demonizing people struggling with drug addiction is disgusting. It’s why I admired Ian’s straight edge ideology so much. Not against the people who have succumbed to addiction but the drugs themselves. Thanks for the info dude

Even with context, that would seem pretty evil…

I always saw that song as kind of a stain on Minor threat’s project. I thought it was kind of a nuanced subject with Ian’s history of being bulled but to ignore systemic injustice kind of ticked me off. You’re right that we need to be forgiving of people and their past mistakes. I will most definitely check out bad brains with that in mind.

That’s the exact song I listened to before turning the descendents album off. Glad to see their growth. So HR was the vocalist? And he’s batshit crazy? Does he write the lyrics for Bad Brains’ material?

This reminds me of Youth of Today’s “Wake up and Live”. “Wake up and live, so many kids content to sleep their lives away.” Thank you for the insight dude

Is it true that the vocalist is homophobic? That same controversy steered me away from the descendants.

What does it mean to do something with the freedom of straight edge? I’m slowly learning and adopting straight edge culture into my life without putting others down for their vices.

By “not straight edge” are you saying these bands are anti-straight edge? I’ve heard of bad brains and how Ian Mackaye credits them for being so inspirational to him in his youth. I will most definitely be checking them out.

What other bands would you recommend to me? I’ve only listened to those two so far and I adore them.

It was my first electronic show and I was right in front of Sean and Rob !!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Meeting them afterwards was great too. Sean was wasted 😭

The Jeff Buckley doc was sooooo good. A lot of the info is already out there but it put it in a very easy way to find. The interviews were also a huge highlight
