My point was trying to be constructive, unfortunately that can be construed negatively, apparently opinions if written passionately are seen as negative on this list. I suppose my overall point was basically celebrate who you are and if people aren't perceptive enough to notice you, why waste your time denigrating them? I just find it unbecoming to write a post lashing out at an entire sub-culture. I doubt people decide to be in a "scene", it more or less exists as a label to simplify for society. I'm sure we've all been grouped this way but we don't wake up in the morning (I would assume) thinking like a Brit Pop Girl or a Mod Boy and if someone does, who cares! I know my life has been more rewarding and sometimes trying meeting new people but at least I don't regret it, I would regret being a 25 year old girl who never ventured outside her own insecurities. On a much lighter note, I will be in Glasgow the first week of September and I want to know of any lovely indie nights happening. I imagine I will be inebriated most of my trip but I would love to cut some rug while I'm in town. Any advice on club nights (indie or not) would be appreciated! ta ra, Chrissy
I think it's about this point where Honey would normally start warning people (not anyone in particular, naturally) to make sure their posts don't start turning into flames. I'm not quite sure what provoked all these anti-indie-snob diatribes, since I don't recall any such attitudes recently; but remember, those attitudes must exist with some people on a list this size, so let's not slag anyone off, OK? And anyway, we've discussed this many times before, as you could see in the archives if they existed at the moment ;-)
