Negative And Violent
Andrew Dijorio: A bunch of different ideas were thrown around for this song. I had already had the “negative and violent” part written, so we were trying to write around that. We had sick ideas, but I think we were all butting heads. The day before one of my vocal sessions, Ryan [Thompson] and I finished this one up together. We wanted to focus on people who use negativity to make themselves feel better about how shitty they really are--kind of like a bully. The perception of this song is often taken the wrong way. Also, I love reading message board posts. [Laughs.] They’re just a bunch of kids shit-talking over a keyboard. Being ignorant is really funny. The idea for this song was inspired by the Long Island hardcore scene and how kids think they’re better than others because they’ve been going to shows longer and are more involved with band members. But it doesn’t matter who you know and how important they are--nobody cares and it doesn’t make you more important. This song is pretty much about all of those things combined.
