"It does not to do to be frightened of things about which you know nothing."
-Donna Tartt, the Secret History
"You’re more punk, hardcore, mod, straightedge, emo,
indie than me. Your hair is cooler, your pants are tighter,
you have more tattoos. You have cooler pins on your messenger bag
& your favorite band is more obscure than mine. Your shoes are more
vintage & so is your shirt. You own more black clothes than me.
I don’t even own a trucker cap OR a white belt.
Your glasses are thicker & blacker than mine,
the plugs in your ears are bigger.
You know more people in bands and your
black jelly bracelets are the envy of scenesters everywhere.
Your photography is blacker & whiter,
Your Makeoutclub profile is wittier,
and you have much better soul records.
Your tie is whiter, or redder, or blacker.
Your scene points are double, perhaps triple, mine.
Because as we all know, that's what really matters.
In a scene where the music has taken a backseat to the haircuts,
you win & I lose."
i like my coffee black,
my food animal-free,
my music loud and obnoxious or quiet and pretty,
my boys manorexically skinny,
my friends weird,
my room cold,
my family gone,
my roadtrips long,
my festivals hippie-fied,
my photography oldschool,
my hair in dreads.
