[QUOTE="Josh_Martin:260614"]anonymous said:[QUOTE]I think there's this huge misconception of things being the same... like Republicans all being white men, Blondes being dumb, or Punx being the same thing as Punks. Punx is a self-labelled thing kids do. It's a goofy, mocking way of being Punk and explaining punk. Punk culture has more to do with rejection of standardized values,systems, ideals, ethics, etc than about music or any of that shit. The music is a result of the ideology and not the other way around. That said, Punx use the music to fuel idiotic sentiments and behavior. True punks don't need to be fucking internet idiots and display minor forms of prejudice to be punk. Punx use punk as an excuse to do things lowbrow. You don't label someone as part of the punx, they do it to themselves and even get it tattooed. Also anyone who has said "just say you're a grind band" 1) belittles grind and 2) says that basically "cerebral" and "grind" don't fit together. The thing is we're not a "grind" band. We're just a band. We put sounds together. When we write, we're not like "time to write a new thrash punk anthem", we think about what we're getting and what we're putting into a song. That to me is a process based off of ideas, a process with a vision. It's not "Farts would be a good way of describing how George W makes me feel!!" and all power to people that write music like that, but that's not us. So no, I am not going to defend extreme music's right to play itself off as music to just get burnt out to and grow out of. Rather, I'm going to play in a band that can describe itself as cerebral in a way that is appropriate and not self-inflating. -Nicholas PS - "Cerebral" doesn't mean intellectual. Dan. must have been joking. It refers to the methods of the intellect, "using your head" would be a better definition. I hear the internet has many dictionaries if you care to look it up, sir.[/QUOTE] Blah blah blah, none of that changes the fact that you knew damn well what that kid was looking to book and you described yourself in a way that that made you seem the opposite of what he wanted. If you're looking to win an on-line arguement, fine, you win. If you're looking to get a show at that kid's venue, you lost, bigtime. The actual definition of a word isn't nearly as important as what its connotations are. Especially when describing music. [/QUOTE]
