Skaterock night was more comfortable for the general onlookers who don t bother with the hustle and bustle of mainstream America. It is a time when you get to mingle with the bands, skateboarders and subculture at a more personable level. It s definitely more enlightening to see things up close and catch the real source of energy. The subculture of Orange County will not be found anywhere else in the world due to the small eclectic variety of diversified beach cultures of punkers, skaters, rockers, grease monkeys, construction workers, musicians, poets, derelicts, hippies, rave children etc. Basically any stereotype the media produces is found here plus more.
Skaterock night is a perfect escape for the youth culture in the Orange County area.
I had a chance to speak with a few global nomads who agree that, here behind the orange curtain, there is a rare cultural blend of somewhat coherent life form. One for instance, named Roman, stated that after growing up in Hollywood and traveling across the globe, he found that LA has a semi lackluster energy flow compared even to Orange County. Los Angeles is very spread out, making it very difficult for concentrations of culture for the younger generations to feed on. Another face in the crowd, by the name of Mailman, who lives in France, frequently visits Orange County and rarely Los Angeles. People should start looking beyond the marketing and hype that is being thrown at them and start something of their own.
