It is real easy to be into punk/hardcore on the coasts. It is set up for the lazy so they can be safely spoonfed without risking shit! I toured the country with a band from Texas in the early 90s and I was amazed, appalled, and at times enthralled by the people I met. By far the laziest, do nothingest, and slothful people resided in the NE cities, Chicago, and the bay area or more generally anywhere that had a large established scene. The infrastructure was already there so the vast majority would just suckle at the teet while the minority worked to keep it alive. In Texas, where I got into punk/HC during 1984 at 13, everyone had to be active (admittedly not always productively) for us to have anything. To this day shows are still a mixture, of voyeurs, felons, tourists, and dedicated adherents. We might be the biggest collection of fuckups you ever saw but no one wants to be the guy that gets the club shutdown or the bands to stop coming to town. From what I remember of the bay area I bet y'all can't say the same. That doesn't mean y'all don't produce some great bands from time to time though!convertidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711394760467526426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508509738815600752.post-48691938570504069712013-07-02T04:48:07.863-07:002013-07-02T04:48:07.863-07:00excellence. miss em!excellence. miss em!nickhttp://exitdreams.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
