You’ve got downtuned guitars and heavy-gauged strings
You must be SO hardcore
Claiming to be from this or that major city
Despite living in cushy suburbs about an hour away
Let’s not even get to the pop punk brats
Whining about “this town”, breakups, and friends
Put the pizza down and realize you’re not oppressed
Twenty and even thirtysomethings have high school mindsets
Disguising their cliques as “the scene”
Thank the Divine for COVID world shutting your concerts down (No wishes for the pandemic to harm anyone, of course)
And blocking your Hot Topic-core fashion shows that just happen to have live music
The entitlement was so strong it’s actually pathetic
As trust fund babies want to be fueled with hate (while secretly wanting the ramen, too)
To look all big and bad
There’s only so much that could help the scene
Suburbia was certainly a matrix of sorts in blasting these dime-a-dozen wannabe Rise Records fake screamo tunes
Drop A?
For like dropping a reality from their perception
Your subculture is a bloody sham
Spot on!
