Maybe its harder for you to understand why certain people are so mad at against me's decision to sign onto Sire Records.
If you had begun listening to against me when they just released their debut demo, and once knew them personally, and can remember basement shows where they were still playing only acoustic songs, you'd be more upset than you are now.
If you've ever felt a sense of camaraderie singing along to songs like "those anarcho punks are mysterious", knowing that you too were going to one day absolve yourself from the capitalist bullshit society you were stuck in at the time and become something more than a nine to five worker for some corporation that doesnt do anything worth shit when you got older, then maybe you could understand why some exfans feel so betrayed.
It's disappointing. It's like the disillusioned child who grows up and finds out people aren't as fucking good as they were told they are. What happens when our favorite bands who reinforced our decision not to let our lives be run by consumerism sell out to the same system they used to (and we still) fucking oppose?
