made some new frens in the dudes from a band , Ceramic Circle. A bunch of pretty boys who played progressive emo ala mineral and Penfold with a tinge of Radiohead. had a music discussion with azhar the macho, OJ abu and them. mostly about bands, persons who made an impact in the underground scene and the ideologies behind the genres discussed.
i love having this so-called music discussions. i mostly keep quiet, and just listen attentively. of course, i don brag and stuff cos i want to listen rather than speak, but in some cases, i do point out my views too. yea, kinda lucky to have frens who have deep knowledge and understanding abt the underground scene and genres, and oso some less well-known genres la, like trip-hop.
followers. the imitators of the underground scene. they make music a trend. ok...lets see...there was this time when being a skinhead was a hype. walk to penin on weekends and u can see groups of "skinheads". kids who has just started puberty or just some plain ol matrip loitering around with their doc marts, fred perry polos and ultra-tapered jeans. then after awhile the trend died out. next comes the rudeboy/rudegirl hype. walk down to penin on weekends and u can c kids with coats and ties. then after awhile they get tired of it and the trend also died out. the same pattern revolves around punk and now its the core/"screamo"/metal hype. u've got gals and BOYS wearing unbelievably thick mascara, have the Good Charlotte fashion sense, listen to common bands like cannibal corpse or cradle of filth for the metaltits, the used for the emotation kids and as i lay dying or atreyu for the "yea-look-at-me-i'm-hardcore!! grr!!" fakers. they go to gigs, they mosh...cos their friends would think of them as the coolest of the coolest dudes around. popularity.
being a hardcore kid or some other genre u want to label urself as doesn mean that u must listen to ONLY songs of that particular genre or other trendy genres. remember, beneath all those make-up and stupid dress code, u are still a person. a human being. jazz, latin, funk or even some classical music doesn hurt abit. instead it broadens ur knowledge abt music.
