Sometimes I go through periods when I question myself and become jaded, but one thing that really irritates me is a person who is convinced that the "old days" are better than their present even though they weren't there to begin with. Or even worse are peopl who become burn out (be it 10 months or ten years) and then say that the scene "isn't as fun anymore". Sometimes I have to ask myself why a show by a popular band who is just as jaded as the crowd, where the energy is as fake as the band's politics can sell out a horrible $12.50 a ticket "alternative" rock club, while only 50 people will see a great local band with ten thousand times more spirit and energy. I guess a lot of people are looking for something that is already accepted and unwilling to seek out real underground music. But they'll be the first to jump on the bandwagon when a band is deemed "cool".
