I completely disagree. There's bigger shows with kids in fidel hats dropping hard f bombs and pretty white boys rationalising their latest bout of being a sex creep with 'emo' songs, but there's also smaller shows that are largely by, and for, femmes, weirdos, freaks and queers. They can be cliquey and exclusive, hell yeah, but when you're trying to make a space for people who don't have one sometimes you have to be. They're not perfect and full of hypocrites, but as a weirdo freak queer in highschool those shows with ten or fifteen people at them were the only place I felt I could be myself.
Oh man fidel hats, you remember that DOS?

Indeed. fidel hat, plain white T-Shirt, flask of nonalcholic beverage with Sharpie'd Xes and some very nice shoes talking about veganism. Basically the show ruiners of my youth.
Also the bean boots phenomenon is utterly bizarre to me, given where I live and all. Fashion eludes me (even though I'll defend my pair to the death).

My sticker covered Nalgene has Whores + Idiotbox on it, I believe.

STIIIICKER EVERYTHING
I'm not home right now but you just wait until I post a picture of my Taylor.
Everybody's all like, "WHY DID YOU COVER THAT BEAUTIFUL GUITAR IN STICKERS?!"
And a sick part of my soul is euphoric, every time.

oh I'm down with stickers, just not necessarily offensive ones in a corporate environment.

Just another example of the man trying to keep us down.
