  • @JKablam

    he talks about how fashionners think

    fuck this band????*

    well fuck you!!!!!!

  • love.

  • H2O GO!!

  • dude, im a metalhead but i also like HxC music (even though i dont know a lot of bands) and damn i must say ...¡WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!!?? all it`s about trends, fashion , dumb messages, stupid lyrics ... aww hell ... it's a fucking shame even here in the southest corner of the world (chile) ... well, peace and mosh it up dudes

  • I want to fine the Joe Strummer spray painted brick Memorial wall.

  • Dude, come out to the westcoast for some REAL hardcore.

  • Real hardcore is all about hairspray and handjobs!!

  • This song have a lot of meaning, but at the end, is not what people are wearing but how they live the hxc scene. Stop violence in the moshpit just cause other are not edge, stop wearing like the magazines tell just cause you are accepted by your false friends or shit like these. Listen to the music and let the scene live! Stay Gold

  • to bad it has changed so, it's a big hypocrite scene now, if you don't fit the dresscode you get stared and called names because you aren't wearing those skinny pants or don't have ear gauges wtf, that also makes me mad what happens to the passion! i even hate going to the shows now.

    h2o thnqu

    sry fr bad English grtz

  • This song is fucking bullshit.

  • Mallcore is not Hardcore. Fuck Atreyu and the little goof balls that wear skinny jeans! NYHC = NOT FOR YOU!

  • so they don't care about how people dress, yet they're bitching about it? don't get me wrong, i love h2o, but the message of this song is bullshit.

  • @fucker71 they arent bitching, they're saying back in the day hardcore music wasn't about a look, there is no set clothing style to like it, now-a-days everyone associates it with fashion, scen hair, and tight jeans. they're saying it doesnt matter what you wear, just focus on the music,.

  • real hardcore has nothing to do with fashion. even today. scene kid screamo shit is pretty much all fashion, but it's not hardcore haha.

  • They're talking about these scene kids these days, u guys know who u are.

  • @antifascistmilitant no, they are also talking about the hardcore scene shaved head same hats 'brutal' shorts with a band name on it god its like u get accepted for what band shirt you wear (even though it doesnt matter if u even like the band)

  • its really funny to think about what they;re saying,

    yet you watch the video and every single person looks the same,

    it's not fashion but it's a trend to look 'Hardcore"

    what happened to giving a fuck about what others wear?

  • This song is so true and speaks to me so much!

    Punk Rock is starting to lose its passion.

    I wish i was born i grew up in the 80's

  • Rap&Hardcore&Punkrock....Helly­eah!

    In spain cant talk about his scene...

  • it's about putting in an honest days work, and not selling out. that's the message i got.

  • Comment removed

  • @HELLHOPE

    great album...people who call it pop don't know anything about the band or HXC

  • Comment removed

  • nigger ass bitches !!!

  • I wonder how much money they paid Michale Rappapot to do this crap?

    Ill bet it was under 5 grand

  • what a new yorker cant talk about his scence?

  • @DickCheneyRules1

    he has been friends with them

  • this song is rad.....&...

    Matt Skiba <3 !!!!!

  • hey niggas......

  • What happened to the music, and the message that i love ... ?

  • whatever happened to all the niggers?

    Why arent they still slaves?

  • fuckin lmao'd

  • your lame, their waaaaay better burzum..

  • yo the baby is a fuckin g. alkaline trio drumset and yankee fitted. hahah

  • this song has such a good message and agree with every bit of it. god damn fashion is going to kill the music scene. like im straight edge and people take it like its a label and compare me to emo.... its pissing me off how people are starting to become assholes in the music. we need more bands like h20.

  • i hear ya bro fuck emos not straight edge my self but lots of friends are i have been around the scene for 22 yrs these posers have no clue D.F.L for life

  • i fucking agree with you, i'm not edge but much respect

  • @Red1676 You guys need to start recognizing the "scene" as what it IS. You try to define it but it is what it IS. You're a bunch of pissed off middle-class privileged white kids that pose as oppressed to gain some kind of twisted sympathy. Hard Core my ass. Way more like a form of EMO. Get a Job, do something for someone else. That is strength, that is Hard Core. Getting a group of people to beat the hell out of one or two kids make you cowards. Try it old school, one on one, toe to toe

  • @drakeshattuck03 dude i live on my own living off of 9.50$ an hour. i dont beat on any one because iv been into hardcore since ten so any one that goes to shows i call my friend edge or not. yes i accept the scen for what it is, but sometimes when you sit back and look at the roots of the scene, makes you wounder how it got to be about fashion or giving a damn what others saw you as. hardcore isnt a fashion statement or a type of music, its about having passion in music, friends, ect...

  • great band. great song. perfect guest vocals by Matt Skiba, really nice contrast.

  • This song gives me chills every time I listen to it.

  • very good song..

    my first show was in 1989..soia with GB..

    back then you had different clique's that had dress codes and what not but in the end none of that really mattered cause everyone would come out to the shows to have fun and not give a shit about what the guy next to him was wearing..

    h20 came on to the scene at a time when nyhc was on a comeback and the passion that was involved in that period of time..and at those shows still gives me chills till this day..

  • matt skiba is god.

  • I hate mainstream music

  • these lyrics are the most true lyrics I know to date

  • who's the guy in the beginning? hes awesome

  • Michael Rappaport

  • is a bitch

  • michael rapaport*

    dude's an actor that has been in a few really good movies, most notabley True Romance. He's also makin a movie with nas about a tribue called quest.

  • I've heard so many bands try to write a song like this, but no one has done it better than this.

    H2O forever. Speaking the truth and keeping it real!

  • I love old-school, thrash, crossover, hardcore, death metal, grindcore. I don't love wearing a uniform. Word

  • nicely said.

  • Good christ I love these guys!

  • i want that kids alkaline trio drumset

  • ENSIGN fucking kicked ass.

  • awesome song!!!

    true story with enough passion! =)

  • Michael Rapaport.... Nice

  • I really do hate what the scene has become. And I hate being so judgmental every time I see a kid with the girl pants on and the crazy hair.

    But in the same token, the actual 'hardcore' scene is turning to that as well. Kangol hats, buzzed head, cargo shorts, vans laceups.

    It's like a uniform.

    But in a sense I guess that's how it is for all crowds/cliques. People dress up to the role they're playing.

  • i hate whats happened to the scene today, im guilty of dressing up hardcore too, always got my madball shirt on, cargo pants and a bandana or cap. I like to stand out and show my pride to my way of life, i like to let it be known that I love sick of it all and these kinds of bands are what keep me going and are whats important to me.

    But where im from im like the only one, everyone else has long hair chimaira tshirts and combats and vans trainers so in that respect i feel individual

  • @PosiJoel -i agree, but when i go to my first hardcore show, i'm gonna were a suit and dress shoes just for kicks,lol.

  • @PosiJoel There's a difference between a belonging to a culture and a fashion complex. Sure, there's going to be an influence on the way you dress from the music and cultures you connect with. That's not what this song is saying. The band T shirts, tattoos, slicked back hair... that's all cultural influence and evident in this video. The message of this song is that fashion and perpetrating an image has become the focal point of this music and not expression.

  • @PariahIsHipHop I agree and disagree, I understand what you're saying. But belonging to a "culture" in this case, I'm guessing being someone from the East Coast (NY, Boston, Jersey, etc.), has become something that you see across the states. On some level it will be about fashion to a point. If I went to a hardcore show dressed like a total clown, but was still there for the right reasons, I'd get my ass kicked. But this is old, and I haven't been in the 'scene' in a long time.. so I dono.

  • @PosiJoel I'm a white kid who grew up in the 'burbs of the West Coast, hip hop is still close to my heart and has influenced me despite the fact I didn't grow up in the inner cities of the Bronx. Does it make my connection to it less valid? I agree, apparent contradiction. It's either a fashion show or a battle to puff your chest the most and the drive behind the music's long been forgotten. I don't really listen to hardcore to much anymore, but I like to revisit classics like this.

  • 7 seconds

  • in your face!!!!!!!!!  ah-mazing lyrics!!!!!!!!

  • aaaaaand they're in Generation Records.. BEST record shop around

  • what? nobody wants to mention Lou Koller?

    New York's voice of Hardcore.

    i think CIV and madball are in this too.. haha

    it's funny, i get tattooed in CIV's shop

  • Best lyrics. Its so true. Ive been in the scene for 15 years now. And I fuckin hate what it's become. I won't wear band shirts to a show anymore. Because I look like all the 13 year old Faggots. But I always support the bands and buy their merch. Support local punk and hardcore. For life

  • 0:35

  • Saw these guys late 08 with bane

    great show, great band, and they have stood the test of time

    its great to have them back in the scene

    and its pretty inspiring to know that Toby Morse use to just be a roadie and he decided to do his own shit, hence creating h2o, the band we all know and love today

  • yah..at the part 2:16 he is the singer of alkaline trio....

  • the best part 2:15 matt skiba nice guy

  • Lol that's agent Self ;P

  • okay

    he is^^and it rockz^^

  • the singer at the end,is it the singer of alkaline trio?

  • Then you hate hardcore.

  • its for fuckin emos and stuff like them that this song is written about. that destroy the hardcore scene and turn it in something gay.. :(

  • got a point there:P but its just a cool song and H2O is the best band:D

  • whoa whoa whoa

    you do not talk about Matt Skiba like that.

  • theyr trying to get across that music is just a big fasion show now

  • LOL. sad thing is half the kids agreeing to the lyrics in this song all dress like eachother too, it's not just scene kids, it's all the idiot kids in hardcore today wearing the same hats, same jackets, same shoes, all judging eachother in the same way, even the kids who hear this and agree are trash because they're agreeing for the wrong reasons, they just want another excuse to feel more elite than other kids.

  • These guys sure are fashionable.

  • How do you know H2O turned into hollywood washups?

    They have michael rappaport in the beginning of their video

  • you are the exact mindless twit that this song is written about

  • ok thanks for the info now I know to keep it real like h20

  • is that you RicktaLife?

  • honestly

  • nice song very very good

  • yeah! gona see them next week^^ with born from pain, sick of it all, heaven shall burn and terror^^----> Persistance Tour 2008

  • who's the dude w/ the shades?

  • Matt Skiba, maybe

  • Rawrawrawraw

  • If you put Matt Skiba in anything its gonna be awesome

  • fuck oath haha

  • yeah.. out come the wolves vinyl!

  • Rule.cheers from AEK hooligans Athens.

  • isnt that dude from SOIA?

  • Yeah, Lou Koller.

  • H2O's singer was always on tour with SIOA, and he wanted to start he's own band, they're getting better known each day

  • they have 2 singers?

  • two words:

    KICK ASS!!!

  • Patchily are you to blame ..Kids didnt get the message trough back in days!!!

    And you should kick some more want to be assess...now its all about the big business....and its too late

  • any idea where i can download some h20 shit? especially this song

  • What did happen? H2O is sooooooooooooooo right, too many posers these days

  • the whole point of the track, as that if you wanna turn up in a start jacket and camo pants bc thats what you wanna wear then fkin do it, but don't do cause back 92 it was "crucial" to do it. ive been listening to hardcore for 10 yrs now since i was 13, and ive changed a dozen times before i realized i could just be myself dress the way i wanted and act the way i wanted to go to shows. the scene today is too caught up politics and how many posts you have on the b9 board and whose noodz you have.

  • fucking matt skiba fucking awesome

  • MUSIC IS MUSIC WE LOVE IT FOR MUSIC AND NOT BECAUSE EVERYBODY LISTEN IT NOT BECAUSE IT S SO COOL AND NOT BECAUSE WE LOVE THE CLOTHES OF SOMEONE

    so go fuck yourself if you think music is only cool for clothes !

    don't be a fake, be & stay true to yourself ! don't follow your friends like assholes , be proud of yourself !

  • For myself, I think everyone of us love Hardcore, Punk Hardcore or I don't know which type of music FOR THE MUSIC and not for the "clothes"

    I think this song is here for this reason ! we don't love music for clothes ! and we will never do it ! but today , I think you have saw that too, but too many people love music because they think the "style" of people who play this music is so cool

    I don't know if you understand me but in only few world :

  • GO H2O!!!!

    i rhymeded

  • the song has a good message..

  • Podegra: Its a good comment as you obv don't know the history of H2o, but the only brand they really display obviously is Pitchfork who are their personal friends and H2o is pretty infamous about promoting their friend's bands in videos and shows rather than labels. Anything else was just what they were wearing that day and the Hip Hop hats are a bit of a joke for old guys who grew up in NYC and the huge split in the hip hop community. Its a message of unity to see them wearing them.

  • Haha you all think like I'm some idiot who has no idea... I'm diehard NYxHC fan just like you but I could not ignore it... "why does everybody look the same" and they exactly do. And don't tell me it's a joke I have seen other videos and pics and tell me what you want, they wear like fashion ladies or hip hop assholes. I totaly like the music, I just don't get the way they dress and even sing about it. Just forget about it.

  • Ummmm... H20 wears the same type clothes in all their vids and the point is to address the so called "punks" and what not that say your not punk cause you don't dress right. Their point is punk/hardcore is a state of mind and not what you wear and no where do they say dress like us or anyting like that you tool. Your exactly the type of person this song is about.

  • yea man i agree with you and like people are missing the point of this song. there saying that no one actaully cares about the music and the words behind it. its all about being scene to them and joining the trend. the scene is always changing everyone looks past the music and just sees the scene involved with it. thats what happened to the passion and its sad to see

  • Little bit weird to sing about fashion and passion and see H2O gyus dressed like they do. I mean all the brands everywhere. And the hip hop hats???? Don't get it.

  • The point of the song is to point out to all the little high school kids that punk and hardcore isn't supposed to be a fashion or an image. If you didn't get that part than the song is probably directed at someone just like you.

  • Haha you think I'm stupid? Did you actually get my point? I know what they're singin about, but why they look like fashion pussies then? Look at the clothes they got!

  • nothing to prove release show in NYC.. with Stigma and Jerk City. now that was the shit right there

  • who is the guy talking at the beginning? he looks like dave gold of the war at home :D

  • Its Dave Gold from the War At Home.

  • Lol. That made me laugh.

  • His name is Michael Rapport ( not sure on the spelling). He was in the movie Higher Learning.

  • Deep Blue Sea

  • I hate telling people I listen to Hardcore music because of the typical response of "oh man, you must like Norma Jean and Bring Me The Horizon"

    Fuck off.

  • yeah i like you:D...presistance tour is gonna kick ass,,,h20 SOIA and terror:D

  • be glad those people know some bands, when I tell people I listen to hardcore they always immediatly think I'm a gabber of some sorts...

    afterwich I just tell them they're right cuz I'm sick of discussing

  • Hey Tax, get the fax...

    Jimmy Kimmel went Banana's when Juliett Lewis brought Toby on the show and went on and ON about H20.

    Ask McR and TONS of bands who THEY like and look up to.

    Fuckin Idiot.

  • Killing Kings ripped off this song way back in 2005. The Music & The Message!

  • cant talk any shit on this east coast hxc h2o is amazing great song alkaline trio is a great band too

  • h2o are the fucking OG's of straight edge hardcore

    they are back for real with this

    EDGE FOR LIFE

  • great fucking song and its so fucking true to and matt skiba adds that little something to it to make it more kick ass

  • so true!

  • This is so fuckin great !

  • wtf why get alk trio in vid. skiba is the biggest pussy listen to A&I it's the biggest shit.

  • Man dont talk shit about Matt skibda, probably the best modern musician out there. What the fuck are you? you seem like one of those xCOREx kids, or some pussy christ-core mother fucker. Take your shitty core scene somewhere else.

    Anyways does anyone notice that when skiba sings it sounds like Dan from alkaline trio is doing backup? Funny if it were true.

  • no way alkaine trio fan but srsly matt skiba. LISTEN TO AGONY AND IRONY

  • this is my favorite song

  • What happened to the passion?

    What happened to the reason for screaming?

    What happened to the music and the message that I love?

    Ask your selves that things and then we might have hardcore pride again.

  • Great opinion!

  • So true, it's all about the image and not the art :(

  • This Vid is awesome. And painfully truthful

  • What happened to the pittsburgh punk sceen, what happened to people saying fuck the man?

  • H2O, Sick Of It All, Alkaline Trio, and haircuts...fuck yes!

  • matt skiba turns basically anything into gold

  • i wish you could give multiple thumbs down. 1 will just have to suffice.

  • i fucking love this song! the lyrics are sooo true! hahaha fuck those fashion-victims...

  • dos anyone knowwhere i can download this???

  • how bout buying it.

  • i love you for sangen that, lol!

  • saying*

  • The problem with music today is the bands that get popular are so middle of the road with their sound and inoffensive. Yet their music is often poor and uninspired but they get popular because of their dress sense.

    The same thing happens when crappy pop punk bands try to rip off the likes of H2O and Lifetime
