For the first time, I understand where those angry "emo" punk bands are coming from. At first, I thought it was just trying to be different, to be a rebel, which it sort of is, I guess. And it is a comment on how horrible our society is and how we need change, but that's not all. Mostly, I think, it's out of anger and desperation, being pushed around too much, blown off by our "betters" not being active but being passive. No, I'm not advocating for violence or anything, since I sort of like peace. But today, something happened and I don't like being passive anymore. Sure, if you're active, something could happen to you, there are consequences, and all that, but it's better than doing nothing. I'd die nobly for a cause instead of living humbly. It's sort of worthless to not do anything. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows? the best rebels are those who have reason and aren't afraid and while I might not be dream rebel material, I'm willing to do what needs doing for those I love.
