Punk Snobbery

smokersdieyounger · 10-30-2005, 08:05 AM

I went to an indie club the other day, was the only punk rocker in there, was mostly students and trendy types. Didnt feel that welcome at first, but started dancing with everyone to babyshambles, rakes and that. The DJ put the Ramones and the The Stooges on, and I really got into it, some indies got really pissed off at my dancing, and I couldnt have been hurting them cos im tiny and they were massive. I always thought indie types were alright, butsome toher indie guys stood up for me and that and nothing came of it.

comments??

Wanker · 10-30-2005, 09:53 AM

Um.

Alright.

I get glared at at the local coffee shop if I go there too late at night, because all the cool indie, emo, and crustpunk kids take over. I do not comply.

Back in the day (8th grade) I used to go this local coffee shop that had a lot of local punk/ska bands play there. Even though I wasn't all decked out like a punk (I wasn't at all, infact), people still welcomed me and would strike up conversation with me. I felt very at home there.

But seriously, every genre of music has its elitist assholes.

Nothing wrong with snobbery.

~~something vague~~ · 10-30-2005, 02:56 PM

I do not dance, nor do I leave home on my own free will.

So I wouldn't know.

Zesty Mordant · 10-30-2005, 02:59 PM

for some reason the word "Snobbery" reminds me of the word "Shrubbery"

I originally read the thread title as "Punk Shrubbery" and I was like "cool".

There are elitists where ever you go, and where ever you go, you ignore them.

..You did put on some deodorant, did you? Dem clubbers got some good noses.

I never realized that indie kidz danced. I thought it was more of a head nod/mope.

You were doing the Robot weren't you?
That's why they didn't like you. I guess people just don't understand that Indie kids love the Robot. I mean, I can't blame you. Ramone + The Robot = Good Times.
F*ck what they think, you do the Robot to your hearts content. I won't judge you.....much.
