going ape shit press #18 by edicius ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: 1:50 am Mon Mar 13, 1995 Number : 89 of 89 From: Edicius Base : (tns) general discussion To : All Refer #: None Subj: sigh. Replies: None Stat: Normal Origin : Local the scene has hit is at a low. chromatik, the symbol of loyalty, has left blade. twisted terroist left acid, and those two formed blah!, their own dual group (like ld's solo project, its just them 2). 5 other people besides tt left acid today. i was told by a reliable source that somms is thinking of going solo himself. look at the scene. the scene is done, the scene is just about dead. the 'old timers' (those that have been or where around for the last few years) have said that the scene was lame. it was time for people like ck, gh, and others, to take it over, and make it 'our scene' again. unfortunally, it hasn't happened. we were handed the 'scene' on a silver platter, we were allowed to do what we wanted with it, and unfortunally, we couldn't. there was a scene with no big group politics, no harrassment, and people not taking it so seriously. this existed only a few months ago. then, everyone needed to start their own groups (this isn't in reference to solo projects, these are good things). everyone went on ego trips, and suddenly, everyone's board was the best. now, the scene we have today has constant pressure, same old shit, no matter who says it will be different, and harrassment. we have a scene where obvious white people can call each other bitches and niggers and gain 'respect'. 13 year olds can draw an ansi, charge 20 bucks for it, call themselves a ho-ass-niggah, and lead a group. this is our scene, we can do what we want with it. lets see something good come out of it. it shouldn't be hard, if we bond together and overtake the hierarchy. a coup is in line. show the people who 'lead' the scene who really should 'lead'. let your voices be heard, no matter who small, no matter what group you are in, you are part of this scene, and you are an important part of this scene. edicius 2/13/95 (80 minutes left)(89 of 89 reading) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thats basicly it. its our scene now, its up to us to decide what to do, if we want a good scene, we shall have a good scene, but not without work. we have one more chance, the clock is striking twelve soon, and soon, there will be hell to pay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- no comment.
