So, yeah

I've fallen for this band... Mayday Parade. These guys are definitely something special. Their sound is not like whiney pop-punk bands such as Boys Like Girls and Cute Is What We Aim For. They've got real talent that stretches past the fashion. I wish the scene wasn't so dressed up in the bullshit, but more relied on the real shit... The stuff that counts inside. But what I would like for the world doesn't change anything. Our scene, sadly, is comprised of people that don't understand it as not just an attitude, not just something personal but something universal. It's not about what you look like but how you carry yourself, whether you are the fan or the musician. It's not about how loud you can scream or how high you can sing, or what your hair looks like or how tight your jeans are. It's about the people in it and the respect. There are all these different parts of our scene that we focus on the differences and forget about the similarities. We forget about the love, the hard work and the talent that is needed to fuel it... and not to forget the creativity and the uniqueness of our scene. It's about being the best you that you can be. That's what I see it as.
