Music being “good or bad” is a flawed idea. Artists make what they want to make and we either connect with it or we don't. Just because we relate to some songs more than others doesn't make the others less valid, we just don't understand them. In fact, we aren't meant to, and that's all right.

What I've witnessed, managers are divisive and allow musicians to become clouded, irresponsible, and unaware of the world around them.

Though a song may race by in a minute and a half, every aspect of it is calculated and intentional.

Genres aren't that relevant. Nearly every form of music is a melting pot of things of things.

I've never been a fan of bands that go out and celebrate their age, I'd rather be celebrated for being relevant.

I feel that people who are new to punk/hardcore don't truly understand the music and the role it plays in people's lives until they experience the environment for themselves.
