So here we are, at another monday. Nothing is new, nothing is really old. Emery, and Eighteen Visions are coming to the Magic Stick the 11th, that should be an interesting show. I'm still debating on whether I'm gonna go or not. I could go, ALONE...but what fun is that?? I should insert a witty poem or something in this part, BUT, I don't have anything, this is just an average joe post :)

The Suicide Machines - Your Silence |
] |
Postmodernism: A rejection of the sovereign autonomous individual with an emphasis upon anarchic collective, anonymous experience. Collage, diversity, the mystically unrepresentable, Dionysian passion are the foci of attention. Most importantly we see the dissolution of distinctions, the merging of subject and object, self and other. This is a sarcastic playful parody of western modernity and the "John Wayne" individual and a radical, anarchist rejection of all attempts to define, reify or re-present the human subject.
Yeah, thats right :)

| Heres another definition |
[01 Feb 2005|01:35pm] |
Person who models the abstract and later specific behavior of individuals
trying to make a claim on certain media,i.e. literature, art, books, poetry, movies. A trend will then arise of "packaging", at which point, genres will mix into socially acceptable grab bags of media and somehow spawn a fashion, normally causing these disillusioned individuals to start resembling the traits of characters, band members, and each other because he or she likes this " underground" lifestyle and wants to be accepted by a discriminating crowd. In short, the sucker thinks these people have all the answers and conforms to some " be- yourself-but-be-us-subculture". Scenesters can range from genres of music such as Indie, emo, hardcore, nerd rock,(math rock), metal heads, ska kids( skankers,Moonstompers), ravers, club kids, goth kids, mod kids,space rock,concept artists,retro throwbacks, punk, pop punk, to Donnie Darko fans and other cult movies such as Heathers or Velvet Goldmine,poetry by Bukowski or Frost, cartoons such as Sponge Bob or shows like Nip/Tuck and The Simpsons, books such as Catcher in the Rye, The Virgin Suicides, Valley of the Dolls, Ask the Dust, and occasionally, The Communist Manifesto,as most scenesters are anti-war and unless straight edge, (refraining from sex or drugs of any kind) are heavily into drugs and alcohol,nomadic,anti-religious,poor with rich parents, and slumming.Essentially, they are their friends, although some people will like what they like and be accused of being scenesters by mistake. The smart scenester will say that is the case, because he or she knows it can't really be disproven except by baby pictures, second grade stories, and by God Himself.
Wow, congratulations you just "labeled" about 90% of Americas youth.

| Fucking Labels |
[01 Feb 2005|01:17pm] |
Ok, so I was talking to some people the other day. And apparently I fell into a label now. I guess I'm known as a "scenster". What the fuck? Since when did I become a label? I hate kids nowadays. You know, the funny thing was, is that I never even HEARD that term until last week. I know I don't get out much, and whatever. So I wanted to know what a "scenster" is, and why I was called it in a negative aspect. So, I found this little definition out on the web (yeah, I'm a dork who works with computers all day) and it states that:
a person who tries very hard to fit the stereotype of a certain scene. often having to do with a specific genre of music emo.indie.punk.rock. dresses and acts in a prescribed fashion. image focused. vain.
Thats funny, because in the past, I've been called everything from emo, to punk, to hardcore, to metrosexual lol. But hey, so I like music, and I like the way I dress. The funny thing is that I've never changed, I've always been like this most of my life. The only thing that seems to change is the word, or LABEL that I've been called. I'm sure in a few years, it'll be a different word floating around. Either that, or I'm jsut too old to pick up on this nonsense anymore. I am who I am, if it's called a "scenester" or whatever, fine. But I won't change, only the LABEL will over time. I just think most people out there don't even have a clue in life, no music taste, no fasion sense whatsoever, and are just jealous that the only fashion that comes to mind is going to the local mall and picking something up from AE or PACSUN or HOLLISTER, fucking posers.

Hi people, just to clear up something, I'm not a weird stalker or anything. Although I haven't been hit with that yet. I thought I'd just nip it in the ass before someone said something. Everyone might be getting responses from me. Thats because I'm new to this journal thing, and I find it quite interesting. So, if you hear from me, it's probably because you're one of the few people out there left that can actually hold a decent conversation. Thats what communicating is all about, connecting with people, and I'd like to see how many friends I can get, each with unique and different personalities that make this world a lot more colorful. And, I'll understand if you don't want to talk, it's cool, I won't bother you more than once. But so far, everyone I've responded to, I've found really interesting so far, and I'd like to see how far my curiosity will take me.

I've been asked by a few people what my face looks like, well hopefully this is a better picture than my little thumbnail shown in my profile. Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.

Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.

You're more punk, hardcore, mod, straight edge, emo, indie than me. Your hair is cooler, your pants are tighter, you have more tattoos. You have cooler pins on your messenger bag and your favorite band is more obscure than mine. Your shoes are more vintage and so is your t-shirt. You own more black clothes than me. I don't even own a trucker cap or a denim jacket. Your glasses are thicker and blacker than mine, the plugs in your ears are bigger. You know more people in bands and your black jelly bracelets are the envy of scenesters everywhere. Your photography is blacker and whiter, your Myspace profile is wittier, and you have much better soul records. Your tie is whiter, or redder, or blacker. Your scene points are double, perhaps triple, mine. Because as we all know, that's what really matters. In a scene where the music has taken a backseat to the haircuts, you win and i lose.
