So you ever know that feeling like you don't belong somewhere you get in a place and everyone shows this a place you should be at? This is probably my first hardcore-punk show. Music that was about something, bands that had something to say. Written for a reason and with a meaning. And every song felt like we can't feel like this alone, in the sense that we can't be the only one feeling a certain way.
Veganism, feminism, brotherhood, self-reflection it was all things that I was either raised with or that were completely amplified within Hardcore. It was where I taught that taking care of myself was a need. It was where I learned to take my place and be happy with who I am. It was also the place I found true love, I found family, brotherhood. But above all it was the place that teaches me DIY, ethics and utilizing my full potential. And that I am worth it to utilize my full potential. It's not just music it's culture a culture I like to share. Be that the old school like Agnostic Front, Shelter, Bad Brains & Cromags. The generation before me in bands like Stick To Your Guns, Counterparts, Suicide Silence and such. Or the bands we may be coming up with or not.
(my current band, No Teacher No Pupil)
Now let's take a tripdown memory lane?
The group I was with during Jera-On-Air (Holland's biggest Hardcore, Punk & Metalcore festival)
Now let's go back step by step, Hardcore is a broad gerne of music including Digital Hardcore/Breakcore. I will share some photo's of how I changed but the music was with me all this time.
