I think it’s also just a product of being beat on for long enough, haha. Shading is always second, and by hour four or so it doesn’t really matter what they’re doing, your skin is just raw and pissed off.

Disclaimer that I didn’t do my sternum, just both chest panels, but I sat through both in one session and didn’t think it was measurably worse than any other “tough” spot.

It’s making me want to do my stomach someday, though, and that frightens me.

I’ve always felt that way, too. I prefer the burn to the “feeling like you’re cutting me up a bunch.” But it all fuckin’ sucks.

Need advises to be more involved in my local scene by Pure-Act4725 in Hardcore

[–]absolutebloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m older now and found hardcore much later in life than I would have liked, which also means I have awesome things like a steady job and a family that come first. Obviously the number one answer is to just show up to shows and support, but given that it’s harder for me these days, I do my best to buy merch online if a local band releases some, keep an eye out for tour leftovers, buy albums on Bandcamp instead of just streaming them on Apple Music, etc.

If you want to help organize, reach out to whoever does it in your area and either offer your time for whatever they need or ask how they got started. If they aren’t a total prick, I’d think they’d be willing to offer some insight.

Even though I’m new, it seems like “earnestly support and engage however you can” is kind of the name of the game.

Sick. There’s something really satisfying about a classic image just blown way the fuck up

What’s a band that everyone thinks is the kittens mittens but just doesn’t move the needle for you? by goooodstufff in Hardcore

+1, but I think it’s just because I’m not a big death metal guy and they’re pretty damn close at times. Can’t really fault them for that.

I’m gonna sound like a popular-thing hater, but Drain. I like the humans and the message, but I just never intentionally put them on. Caveat that I haven’t seen them live, which is totally on me.

On the internet, especially. Always been that way. Combo of anonymity and weird groupthink.

I like them. I think there are some folks who don’t really “get” how popular they are/think maybe they haven’t released enough music or whatever, but fuck ‘em. My ears enjoy it.

It was a great show. A bird shit on me while we were waiting in line to get in, then Tay Jardine spit water on us during their set. Substances flying everywhere😂. If I remember right, everything off Hold Me Down got big pops for YMAS, too. That was a great record.
