When 90s punk hit the mainstream it found its way into suburbia, where, like gangster rap, people singing about inner city violence were now talking to white picket fence kids who’d by and large never seen such violence.

i feel personally attacked lol

Thank you for your long form deep dive... i think your points about the machismo make sense and lack of emotional maturity really hits home for me

The jocks and preppies that popped in a tourists were still assholes, and going to a show where you’d expect the crowd to be welcoming based off the band’s message

definitely saw the jocks and rich kids but overall i never felt unwelcomed at shows... and in hindsight, we shouldnt be judging them as tourists and assholes... we all just immature kids looking for a place to belong.

A lot to digest. Thanks again
