Hey Fred, Where Were You Back Then?
Sometimes people are so fucking disrespectful it makes me physically ill to my stomach. I went to see downset on Sunday and that crowd that showed up was one of the worst I have ever had to endure. Basically, this band was one of the first, I hate to use the phrase because I hate the music, “rap-metal” bands. Except, downset is more like “hip-hop-hardcore,” if that means anything at all. They have been doing this stuff since 1989 and now they have been kind of shunned aside by the media because their music is extremely political and very heartfelt. They make Fred Durst look like the whiny, derivative little fuck that he is. Well, they got up on stage and basically, there were 10 or 15 kids totally mocking them, doing stupid shit, pissing a lot of people off, myself included. I have no idea if they knew what they were doing, or if they were just really stupid and ignorant and did it because they are young and need attention. This band has meant a lot to me for a long time and I hate to see something that is so purely heartfelt and has no corporate strings attached be disrespected, especially to their faces. Just go home if you don’t like the band.
