Entertainment does that for people, whether it's Screeching Weasel, Arnold Schwartzenegger, or Monday Night Football. Shoegazer dorks are starting to annoy me, though. People don't dance and they should. From the ground up. There are people who are invested in feeding you nostalgia when you could be creating and enjoying your own.
Consistency is overrated.
Punk makes you conform big time - it makes you think you have to know all the answers to life at age 18 and then hold on to them forever. You're supposed to brag about how long you've been true to the cause. If you haven't changed, then you haven't grown. If your goal is to stay the same, then you're living in a fucking cave. There is a HUGE world out there and you are not a part of it.
