this thread, as childish as it is, really breaks my heart.
grow the fuck up and go to shows to support bands, community, your scene, but do not complain unless it's constructive criticism in this case.
i am not taking this personally, mind you, but jesus christ you people.
we are trying to book shows for you. play in bands for you. you can't blame a venue if a crowd doesn't engage with a band, it's the circumstances and primarily the atmosphere, and the crowd brings that atmosphere, and drink/smoke don't really effect this. i think the culture does, but you guys remember who controls that?
we do, every day, on this board, and with the way we act at shows.
can we please be civil and make this a scene and culture that other younger people would want to get involved in? reading through the five pages on this thread makes me upset with all of us, even though i love almost everyone posting on here, at least those i know in person. but at a time where we need to elevate ourselves, this makes all of us look pretty fucking stupid and childish.
get on with it and go fucking play in bands, book shows, write about it, own a venue, post on a messageboard if you really want but QUIT YOUR INCESSANT AND INANE, INSENSITIVE AND UNPRODUCTIVE BITCHING
