Whether someone chooses to drink/smoke, etc. is their own choice, may it be a smart or stupid choice, that still gives you no right to hurt/harass this person.It is their own choice to do that and you all need to fuck off and mind your own buisness and let people live their lives.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Punx Who Call Other Punx Posers For Stupid Reasons -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hell,just cause someone doens't have a mohawk or has a fuckin blink-182 shirt on doesn't give you the fuckin right to call someone a poser..WHO THE FUCK made it up to YOU to decide what was punk and what wasn't..punk isn't about rules and you calling someone a poser or saying "hey,that green day shirt isn't punkrock" is stupid and you obviously don't have a fuckin clue about punk rock... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People Who Think They're So Damn cool, It Makes Me Want To PUKE! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These people who think they're so god damn cool that they would never even consider talking to you make me soo sick. I see their stuck up snotty faces and I just want to smash their teeth out and somehow make them realize how ignorant they've been and that they are NO better then anyone else. People that Insult me In My Guestbook For No Reason or A Stupid Reason -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of these cowards don't even leave their e-mail address! they bitch to me about how unpunk having a mohawk is or what i have in my page...here's a hint:MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN PAGE!! don't criticize my page or say shit when your behind a fuc*in computer or anything unless you have your own page yourself and its pretty damn good,and still you have no right to make fun of other people... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People Who Call Themselves Something They Know Nothing About -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These two guys came up to me once asking me if I was a racist, I told them that I am not. They then said "then what the hell kind of punk are you!?" and went on to tell me that they were racist skinheads. They obviously had no idea what they were talking about. They were dressed in rapper clothing and talking about mainstream alternative music afterwards. Someone probably just called them a skin once because of their shaved heads and fascist ideals and they went on to think that they indeed were skinheads. Hmm.... I suppose some people are just stupid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When People Bitch About Me Not Putting Up My Mohawk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is very annoying. People seem to think I have nothing better to do then sit around spiking my mohawk all day untill it is perfect. They bitch and bother me when I don't have my mohawk spiked up . I dunno, maybe they don't think im "cool" enough to hang around em when my hair isn't spiked, if that's the case then fuck em! Who really gives a shit what someones hair looks like? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Color Codes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This bullshit about saying someone is something just because of the color of their laces or suspenders is ridiculas. If you wear something you like, you shouldn't have to worry about some moron thinking your a nazi and trying to start something with you. This really bothers me because it is so stupid! Who really gives a f-ck what color someone is wearing, that doesn't mean anything. In London, if you have red laces or suspenders people will think you're a nazi, but red laces and suspenders look really fucken good, so it sucks major ass! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People Who Don't Respond To My Emails -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damn, I take the time to write someone a fair sized email, they should at least have the courtesy to respond to it. Lazy bastards, rot in hell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fashion Punks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuck you if you think you're better than me! these people only hang out with people that have a mohawk or spikey hair or a studded leather coat and then they make fun of people that don't...what a bunch of assholes!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People Who Tell me I'm Never Going To Make Anything of Myself and/or I'm Going to be a Failure -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is directed to those of you who are bent on making me feel like shit to make yourself look big, well.... FUCK you! When I succeed (which I will), i am gonna come back and rub it right in your fucking face and make you feel useless and see how you like it! This is for every time someone has told me I'm never gonna make it anywhere if I don't conform to society's rules.......... FUCK YOU! This is for anyone who has ever tried to crush my dreams and goals..... FUCK YOU! And this is for anyone who has ever tried to dictate how someone should lead their life....FUCK YOU!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kids Who Pretend They're Street kids -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate these kids who pretend they live on the streets because they think it's cool. They do stupid stuff like not bathing and ripping up their clothes on purpose so they can be "cool" like us. They beg for money. They take money away from us,the kids who really need it. They go into the youth centers and eat the food. They squeegee cars and take more money away from us, the kids who need it. They are stupid and ignorant, and it's no wonder why we get so fucking angry when we see these kids who obviously have a home, making things twice as hard for us. In the summer some of em take it even further by becoming "Summer Squatters", living on the streets during the warm weather and retreating back to mommy and daddy when things get cold. They really piss me off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People in the Scene Who Pick on the New Kids -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I remember when I first started getting into punk. It was a constant battle. People always flinging insults at me, getting the word "posuer" thrown at me by everyone. I didn't let any of these people scare me away, I thought about changing, so I wouldn't have to listen to the insulting comments anymore, but thankfully I got some courage, enough to tell them to fuck off and let me do what I want. I feel that instead of people trying to force out the new kids, they should try to educate them more on what punk is all about. If they don't like it they won't stick with it. Every time a new kid is scared away from the punk scene by eggocentric bastards, they are killing the scene. I mean what if that kid had found out that punk really was a part of him, he may have turned out to be a really kool person, started and band, published some zines, or maybe something else. We need to pave the path for a new generation of kids, not scare them away or punk WILL die. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- People Biased Against Others in our Scenes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cannot see any justified reason for hating someone until you actually get to know them. I don't care if a person is a rapper, a hippy, a skin, a rudeboy, raver or whatever the fuck they choose to label themselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Judgemental Bastards Who Say Shit About me to my Friends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These people don't know ANYTHING about me, they've NEVER said shit to my face, but instead they tell my friends they think I'm a "posuer" or a "fashion punk". Well... I guess to them all punk is about is: not bathing, pretending to sleep on the streets, bummin money off people when you don't need it, and putting on a angry face. At least my friends stick up for me, and I respect them for that, I don't know how they can remain friends with such ignorant pricks though, I can't stand those people, they make me sick. here ya go trev....
