I will no longer go to punk rock concerts
First. A disclaimer. I will continue to go to punk rock concerts. We're off to a good start.
Ok. So. Matt A Traub (A standing for Asshole or Alvin) said, "Dude, I can't figure out if we listen to really shitty music or if all these really shitty kids just happen to listen to really good music?" The answer, for the most part, probably falls somewhere between the two. We went to see The Format, Jimmy Eat World, and Taking Back Sunday in Providence. We had full knowledge going in that we would be among the older crowd but I had no idea that we would be more interested in watching security tackle kids who tried to rush the floor than we would be the performing bands. We started to scheme ways that we could also tackle kids who tried to rush the floor, not because we wanted to prevent kids who did not have floor tickets from reaching the floor but because we wanted to hurt those younger kids who did not have floor tickets and were making us look older in comparison. One kid came up to me and asked me if I was going to leave and that if I was, could he have my wristband. I looked him in the eyes and extended a stream of profanities. That's not true. I looked him in the eyes and said, "Go away." He said, "What?" and I said, "Go away," and in fairness to this kid, he went away, most likely muttering about the two stupid old guys being all old and stupid at the concert for high school kids. I CAN NO LONGER GO TO CONCERTS WHERE THE BAND PERFORMING IS YOUNGER THAN I AM OR THE CROWD IS GOING TO BE A BUNCH OF SHITTY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. Also, Traub sucks. This post is bad but that's what happens when I stop writing because of shit like school and I HAVE NO EXCUSE.
