Posers or Just A newbie trying to be real ?

kamusta po mga pips!

sa pananaw ko, wala naman talagang so called ¨newbie¨ sa eksena. lahat naman tayo ginagawa ang lahat ng ito dahil sa ¨passion¨ natin sa musika at sa komunidad ng buong hc/punk.

lahat tayo magtatagpo tagpo rin sa iisang idea, iisang passion at magkikita kita rin kapag may shows. ang pinagkaiba lang natin sa ibang eksena, tayo ay mas committed sa eksena ng punk at sa diy attitude. at dahil dun nabubuhay ang eksena. naalala ko lang nung una akong makapanood ng punk shows sa may salerma, morayta (brave new world) era wayback 94. first time ako sa mga ganung eksena, nakakagulat ng biglang ngka gate crash. hahaha. pagpasok mo sa venue, lahat nka studs, mohawks via elmers glue, colorful leggings, trench coat, my mga flag. and then ako nka faith no more shirt... hahaha. pero from there, natutunan kong iembrace ung idea ng mga taong toh, ung pagiging proud nila dahil nabubuhay sila sa isang sub culture na environment. simula nun marami na kong naging kaibigan sa eksena nung late 90´s. laging laman ng killah john nung time ng laguna dominated ang eksena. (peace)

laging may mga nababago sa eksena. mga bagong mukha. bagong factions. etc. sana lang yung mga bagong sibol masukat nio rin sa sarili nio kung hanggang saan ang dedication at passion nio sa sarili nio bilang isang punk/hardcore. hindi nio na masusubukang magpapalit ng peso para makakuha ng 5dollar at mang uto ng record labels hoping na papadalhan ka kahit sampler lang. samantalahin nio na ang teknolohiya ngayon mga sir.

wla s ¨X¨ ang pagiging hardcore nsa ¨go!¨

happy new year po sa lahat!

Keith posted this on Facebook and I decided to take a gander. Honestly speaking, I was one of those new kids in the hardcore scene who took everything too seriously. Masyadong intense, masyadong elitist/purist etc. Since Peter of As A Whole died, I cut most of my ties to the hardcore scene, stopped listening to punk and just focused on getting through college and moving to Manila. One time, I put up a show sa Skarlet Jazz Kitchen (formerly Ten02). It brought a lot of memories back, mostly regrets but yeah. It was mostly pop/indie/jangle bands. A friend came over with one of her schoolmates from PWU. He was some Fil-Am (or whatever, not sure if he was a halfie or not. Looked more white than Asian.) named Colin or something. Dude mentioned that he had a band, talked about Strife and being a former straight-edger back in the states. After a couple of laughs and Trustkill/old-Victory references, he started getting into the Manila Hardcore thing. I was all, "wait, what's Manila hardcore? Is this the Isvarah guys or something?"

i always knew walang mabuting idudulot yang isvarah e

I'm so sorry for being a newbie.

Simula noon hanggang ngayon newbie pa din ako mag-isip... Para di mawala ang enthusiasm sa mga bagay bagay na gusto ko...

Yun nga lang, nagbabago-bago ang responsibilidad natin sa buhay ...

in my opinion ( naks ), you can only be a "newbie" to a scene, but you can never be a so called "newbie" to the ideals of punk. some display the attitude of punk even before they learn about scenes. ( sorry wala yata sense sinabi ko )

there are even some so called newbies who act more mature & positive than the so called " hindi pa ginagawa ang lrt e punk na ko!" crowd.

hehe peace.

Hahahaha... Parang ito din yung "Grade 2 pa lang ako, kumpleto ko na ang TRC"

wala akong alam sa hardcore punk na yan dati... all i know about punk was my friends telling me how they drank and took syroups and partyin to show in far away places from cavite. a freind of mine gave me his Dead ends and Gi + idiots tapes and i was fucking hooked. but still it went on listening to thrash bands in the 90's and well metal head talaga ako e. wala ko magagawa kung yung erpat ko may mga black sabbath na tapes.
pero yung mga unang naging active ako sa pagsamasama sa shows ng xFEUDx even thou hindi ako sXe, they were cool enough to let us party with em to shows, thats the time na na napapanood ko yung mga HC punk shows at mga bands nung panahon na yun. i didnt know many people sa mga shows nun liban sa mga kakilala ng mga kasama naming banda, sa mga malalayong lugar at ibang mababait na taong nangangausap tungkol sa eksena. inaabot pa nga ko ng nakikipaginuman sa mga cool na old skullers na kinikwento yung punk endevours nila, diy printing, stamp recycling, at syempre ZINES (fave ko to nun). i forgot some of their names kasi lasing nga heheheh but syempre pag may mga cool may mga kupal din... yung mga tamang jurrasic punks at metal heads na sila lang dapat yung punks. magmula nun naisip ko na ayoko maging katulad nilang bitter. so ako ok lang sakin yung mga bagong mga punkilitos at harkor kids na yan kasi nga minsan naging tulad ko din sila. kailangan lang naman nila yung mga pwede nilang mapaghigupan ng ethics na naayon sa eksena e. and dont diss kids the dancing kids, gusto lang naman nila ng party e and to the newer bands basta orig nyo ok yun, passion naman yung common denominator dyan e. kung wala ka nyan poser ka talaga o sadyan di para sayo to.
listen to good clean fun and think posi kahit di ka sXe.. thats what i did.
now im listening to Municipal waste and yea its the same thing with beer nga lang.
its all about having fun, with friends and aquintances and partying to bands you love to see.
fuck i love this thread... medyo nanumbalik yung silbi netong forums.

...observation ko lang eto, correct me if I'm wrong

Bakit yun mga gig nowadays parang nagiging "Production" n yun dating...parang nawawala na yun pagiging "Collective"
