Without a doubt the vast majority of these kids have fuck all real interest in Punk (or whatever "alternative" music style they claim to be into-metal,emo etc.). Hell, I'm only 18 and already almost every single one of the "alternative kids" I knew between the ages of 12-17 have totally grown out of that braindead teenage rebellion phase and no longer even pretend to be interested in music. But as someone quite rightly said earlier in the thread we could all probably have been branded as one of those central bank kids at some stage, and there are surely some kids hanging out there who would love the DIY scene if they were exposed to it. Blatant posers aside, a lot (well some at least...) of those kids with Rancid tees have the potential to really get to love a lot of the DIY punk bands in the Irish scene at the minute, so yeah I really do think postering/flyering Temple bar etc. is a great idea.its not bout wearing the t-shirts etc. fuck i still wear the odd rancid t-shirt and have an afi tattoo that i got done 6 or 7 years ago, i mean stanto wears rancid and anti-flag hoodies and is one of the coolest mother fuckers you'll ever meet, the point i was trying to get across is that these kids or the vast, vast majority of them dont want to look past whats been put out or being put on by the majors, they have no interest in looking into the diy scene at all, their inclusion in the scene could force the loss of some venues possibly, i mean like venue owners can just bout put up with the punks as it is without the black parade marching through their venue or hanging out outside it screaming etc. i whole heartedly would welcome the ones that want to be there and have a genuine interest in the scene. i suppose the ones who make the transition into the diy scene are the ones who were truly there for the music and not the look, yeah posters flyers should be handed out in temple bar round the central bank, i suppose its a case of seeing who's who then and helping them make the transition
My 2nd account.guilty! got my point, finally someone that understands me apart from janer
people can go to whatever gigs they want too, but it would be good to encourage them to go to d.i.y gigs.
but...
i think these days people seem to think its ''more punk'' to dislike bands who have actually broke into the mainstream music scene such as rancid/nofx/dropkick murphys., but without these mainstream or ''corporate bands'', soooooo many younger people who are sitting watching MTV wouldnt of got the chance to find out about punk rock.
and for those young ''new'' punx the ''do it yourself' ethic dosesnt kick in untill youve been a punk for a bit longer, (when you start to realise what the craic is).
its not like ''whos playing tonight then???'', ''you know that really shit band who cant play music, but hey!!! its a d.i.y. gig so we are compelled to go to it now'',
Well if the promoters gave out leaflets at the Central bank for a forthcoming gig and it included something like €2 off with flyer u'd get to see if it had any effect, you only do a limited amount of flyers just for the area itself etc?
If those fliers end up all over the street you'll be done for littering if ya have details of a gig or shit on it. Think Conor was stung with that.
