@cros1eyfie1d Teens today, like myself, have virtually unlimited access to all the stuff you had, like punk and hardcore like this. I feel like I win.

I get it now . . . Ronald Reagan * WAS * the best president we've ever had!!!

@Izorpo There's still record stores where this could be done. Where I am, there's a record shop that deals exclusively with punk and hardcore. Personally, I go to the local used store and go through the $1 CD bin looking for something that might seem good.

@muler321 yes "you may have access to everything we had and more" but one thing you will never have is the experience of going to the record store discovering new bands by the cover art getting the vinyl home smelling that new vinyl smell - all because everything is now accessible and rendered meaningless because it isn't tangible and is therefore transient- a bit sad really you "win" the music but you've lost everything else

@muler321 I'm glad to hear you've still got a scene going. There's one here in NY too, but there's a lot of the "being seen" thing going on, and a lot of the bands are crap. But there's still some good music coming out of the streets.

[muler321]

@TheLadyHBomb That was then and this is now. The scene is still strong, at least where I'm from. Maybe not in numbers, but surely in spirit. The cops still harass punks; there's plenty of word of mouth pushing the scene forward; I've know plenty people who busk on the streets to make their money; the only difference is that the all-day matinees will set you back $6 or $7. There are still plenty of people living that sort of life, I find that I'm more of a poseur, but I stilltry to help the scene

[TheLadyHBomb]

@muler321 You have unlimited access to the facsimile of what we experienced. Videos and recordings are great, but you'll never know $3 matinees that lasted all day long; a city that was a virtual wild west in the east; a scene that spread by virtue of word of mouth alone; hustling to make a dollar; hooking up with the krisnas for your meals; running from the cops because they thought you were freaks; depending on your found brothers and sisters for you very survival...
