For some inexplicable reason, I find myself disinterested in listening to hardcore music. The very notion of hardcore is seemingly petty, albeit emotional, is to me just some spectacle in an already bloated world of rhythm. I resent the predictability within hardcore songs, and of course, all the loaded words (wont die on my knees, gratuitous use of the term 'conviction,' etc etc) to a point where I am ashamed for both myself and the band, respectively. Yet, when I sit behind a drum set, or play a play a guitar, I feel an overwhelming urge to hit as hard and as fast as I possibly can; or play a riff that evokes a sense of sorrow. For me, there is nothing else quite as reposing.
The whole situation is incredibly defeating; in the sense that I know these bands are just like me. I don't know what to do, and that's quite nauseating.
mobb deep is around for a reason.
