[QUOTE="the_taste_of_cigarettes:113766"]what I worry about with unity between scenes and the advent of shared, or highly frequented places for local bands, is that it will turn into something like the HOSS, which was once glorious, but eventually decayed into an elitist, drama-riddled cess pool. Perhaps it's something plainly not worth worrying about, but when you get "scenes" you get a level of cornering, hierarchy and positioning that can be dangerous. One of the great things about the shows I've been seeing for the more "metal" than hardcore or DIY (whatever that's evolved to) these days is that it's much more low-key and beneficial to everyone... also with scenes, as you can extrapolate from the logic behind elitism, is that if one band isn't "hip" enough, some people won't even give them a chance, and instead of it taking down a few people and then getting the other people who don't care about hipness to come see the new band or the touring band, you get people scared off by the lack of continuing to be hip. I don't know if this makes sense, but it's something always worth considering when people make movements to create an "en masse" movement. It can be beneficial, but when it backfires, it can be loud. Part of the great thing about the seperation in MA/RI scenes, too, is that right now they count as two different tour stops for bands...and i understand that can be cool cause you can kill two birds but I also think that it's also really great that shows like, SAY, the Examination of the... Tour had a good draw up here, then a good draw in RI, and it was like two completely different shows with completely different atmospheres. Again, I don't have a solution but I'm just playing the advocate for some points that might go unnoticed.[/QUOTE]
