Hardcore.

Its not about who you know. Its not about what you do. Its not about how much you have done.

The reality is that noone in hardcore is "cool". Go out on the street, and ask anyone if they know you, know your band, know what you do, and they would look at you like you are insane.

It has always been about respect... being able to voice an opinion (and God knows, I have been crucified for this).. being stood in a room where you feel safe... at home.

You aren't a legend. You aren't John Joseph. You arent Henry Rollins. You aren't Ian Mackaye. These people earned it. They are smart. Intelligent. Never bullied people into respecting them.

You are nothing. A nobody. Don't ever forget that.
