Music is for Complaining.

Or atleast that’s what I did in my latest Nerdcore song, Scenester Blues, where I bemoan the fact that their isn’t more love in the Nerdcore scene. I mean, really, one would think geeks, nerds and other such social outsiders wouldn’t be so egotistical and mean to each other. One would think that there is an inherent unity on the basis of shared experiences – we’ve all been ostracized at some point, thus one would think that such an action would be unthinkable as such. Alas, it just seems like the same kind of in-fighting and social divisions I thought I left as moved towards higher and higher levels of education came back into play the instant scene was created.

I mean, part of it is that it’s really hard to create a harmonious and complete community when you’re mashing various people who previously were working unaware of each other into one group, but it’d be a lot easier if people could just drop the egos for a second and be honest yet polite. I mean, yeah ego and posturing are a large of part of Hip Hop and Rap, particularly in modern context; however, nothing positive comes of it when it’s taken too seriously and gets in the way being respectful to each other, to your peers. It just sours things. I just mean that I know as a group we can do better. Maybe this will inspire something like that. Atleast that’s all I can hope for.
