I've always been a bit of an elitist when it came to music, for along time I was all for if it's not punk its not good and I'm proud to say that over the years i have broadened my horizons. However it has made me think about what makes music good to people. Some people just want something to dance others appreciate skill and complexity, I on the other had don't think that any of that makes a difference. I think that you should be able to relate to your music and that it should bring about an emotional response. Language is one of the most powerful tool available to mankind and music is a medium that lends itself well to being able to reach the people, music should be able to change the world, bring about revolution, start and end wars, but fuck thats just my opinion.

Some thing struck me recently, there has been a complete breakdown of individuality in todays society. Granted it's not our fault, everything has just been done before, and when someone does make a statement soon throngs of people follow suit a sort of grab the rug out from under them. Perhaps we're all just to caught up with trying to be different that we don't realize that we're conforming. I mean seriously think about some of the horrible trends that have emerged through out the years and forgive me but I'm going to use emo as an easy example. Now i don't have anything against anyone personally but they are perhaps the worst fashion victims of our generation, and the only reason i can think of that would have caused this to occur is that they think that looking goofy as shit is the only way to be different, when in all actuality they are not being different at all, rather they're just conforming to another sub culture, and since when did looking stupid connote individuality. Now emos are not the only ones guilty of thins but gangsters and punks have both turned into fashion victims over the years as well. I think the sad thing is a lot of us have actually started to believe that what our particular subculture is sporting looks good when chances are that five years earlier we would have thought they looked like fucking idiots. Hell i sported a mohawk and i still think it looked fucking great. But anyways Fuck it we're all conformists but we do what we like, it only will only a problem when the"scene" dictates every aspect of our lives.
