i may not have lived during those times, but i think i can say na mahirap ulitin yung nangyari 20 years ago. iba na context natin ngayon eh. though there are a lot of political issues that can be tackled, sometimes complaining in the form of playing punk songs wont work anymore. i believe we have to show them how wrong they are by actually being smart about our political stands rather than just play the victims and complain and complain and complain.
or kung di nyo trip ang pulitika, theres always our emotions. (lulz)
20years ago? well, i was in 2nd year high school then.. and hardcore was definitely there.. when i learned about punk rock at that time, i knew people that does the lifestyle and it is really an attitude! i saw the fashion, the music and the bands. minsan nagpapatugtog pa ang XB102 ng mga undergound music nuon which made the hardcore scene quite 'there' in the air..
i've attended some hardcore gigs and to be honest, the 1st gig i went to was amazing, i saw real bands playing hardcore deep, ang lalim ng pinanggagalingan ng tunog at diko alam kung san nila hinugot un, pero astig! but on the 2nd gig ganun din music but it made me think twice about this gig. the crowd was rowdy, magulo, mainit at may mga dalang kadena na naka pulupot sa fist and pag slamman' na, kundi siko tatama sa muka mo, ung kamao na may kadena! heheh, at may nakikita akong upuan na lumilipad, nakawan ng creepers, combat boots at may mga durugistang naghahamon ng away pag napikon sa slam dance.. hehehe..
from there, i took it na mejo diko kaya. thinking i was 15 years old then..
