Im sure we're all aware of this "culture" by now and i feel things have been taken a bit far with the whole thing to be honest. They've even got themselves an article on the BBC website here is the link
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7425450.stm
now some of the comments infuriated me, things like how "emos were the future of britain" and crap like that so i decided to leave them a comment which i hope will be posted on the website for all to see...
Im so sick of the fact that we are forced to take on a certain label like branding ourselves with the mark of the record label or clothing company we wear. Why cant i just be me? Youll rarley see me out of jeans and a hoodie, why does that make me a potential criminal? Were in the middle of a cultural cess pool right now, yet we are blinded to this fact by the labels telling us about the "latest hot new scene" which is just a rehash of something that was done 20 years
ago and it makes me really angry.
I feel jealous of my parents upbringing during the 70s and 80s, they had artists who stood on their level and made true unbiased uncensored music from the heart. There was a real feeling of involvement and excitement from all the new movements breaking out. I want people like that in todays world, why do we have to rake through our parents record collection to listen to some good music.
There is noone speaking for our generation any more, all these bands do is speak about what sells, like puppets with the masters hand placed firmly up their backsides.
People can do whatever the heck they want, but unless something changes soon, and we recieve the musical revolution we desperatley need to wipe out this "emo" rubbish out of our system, i am going to be seriously ashamed to be known in history as what will be undoubtedly known as the "cultural dark age."
Does anyone else agree? or am i completley missing the point of this scene.
