fashion-core is out of control!!!!
i laughed so hard when i saw this. i had just gone to a Mars Volta show,, which isn't even hardcore but man, the scene kids just filled the place and they all looked the same! it was amazing. i wondered if half of these kids even understood the music they were listening to, or if it was just a part of some fashion contest for them. then i stumbled upon this and realised maybe i was right, and that made me sad. i wish music could speak for itself,,, or else, i wish people could pull themselves away from the mirror long enough to pay attention to what they're listening to. i sometimes wonder if it's the industry, or the fans themselves, who are turning the music into trendy pablum. going to that Mars Volta show (which musically blew my mind, by the way!!!) reminded me of an old Sloan lyric (they were talking about the tragically hip, though, i think): "it's not the band i hate, it's their fans".
sorry,, felt like ranting!
