This is where I go when I need to get things off my chest...
I just need to voice this, it's been bottled up since July when I moved to Arizona. Where is the hardcore scene in Phoenix? I moved expecting a much bigger scene than Des Moines, and I haven't heard of one good hardcore show since I've moved here. I know, everyone I surround myself with is always talking about how hardcore is over, it's just memories, they're over it, but I'm not over it. It's a huge part in my life, and I realize it the most now that I haven't actually gone to a hardcore show for eight months? I feel like I'm losing it. Something is missing, and I might sound fucking stupid to those kids who have, "grown up," and gotten over hardcore, but going to shows make me who I am, they let out stress, release energy, I don't know, it's just good for me. I love the atmosphere, it's my life, I feel like I can still consider people family who I have met through hardcore, and I'm not ready to just give that up after reaching a certain age. My heart is still in it, you can make fun of me as much as you want, and say how you've moved on to such better things, grown up, but my heart will always be in the hardcore scene.
