Since when was Hardcore exclusive?

I find it funny how close minded most hardcore kids can still get, They make it seem like hardcore is this elite group that only a select few know about and that you need to go through hell and high water to be considered "core". To me that's a big load of stinkin cow dung, first of all because they're missing the point. It's supposed to be a community, how can we build a community if we only open our doors to a select few....??? I understand that for a few this is just a passing fad, and that's understandable, if it's not for you
maybe it really just not your cup of tea. Thanks for coming to the shows though....don't let the door hit you on your way out. But anytime you want to come back, the doors are wide open for you. That's the one thing that we like about Hong Kong hardcore is that for the most part, it's very positive, the vibe is generaly good at shows and the political bullshit is usually kept within the bands. No tough guy dudes circling around the pit waiting for an opportunity to throw down, thank God we've never had to throw anyone out the door.
I particulary get annoyed with kids who call Old school hardcore bands as "REAL HARDCORE" and everything else is obsolete, that's annoying to other bands such as ourselves who don't particulary sound, in fact don't sound anything like MINOR THREAT or JUDGE or GORILLA BISCUITS. Just because we don't sound like that does that mean we're less "Hardcore". Does that mean that everything we stand for doesn't hold as much water as
XBANDX because we don't play three chords a breakdown, two step, go and a circle pit part
in our song. Get off your high horse buddy and move on with the times, and give us the respect we deserve....We do not narrow ourselves down with just one particular style of hardcore. To us it's the music, the lyrics (SHUSH NOW RIZ!! :-) ) and the friendships we've made and the life experiences we've had that we want to share with you.
On that note we in STW would like to thank all of the friends we've made all these years, the bands we've played with and more importantly the people that continously support Shepherds The Weak and the "scene" whatever's left of it. Let's not let narrow minded ness destroy what we have and cherish. Respect your parents, others and love your GF oryour wife. Know that we are not alone in this world and there must be someone out there looking out for us and you'll be just fine.
We are now embarking on our homecoming tour, more like being thrown in a hell of fire, an experience that we are most definitely looking forward to. We hope to meet new friends and share with them our experience here in HK, our second home. We will let them know how open minded the people here are and how YOU welcomed us with OPEN ARMS AND HEARTS.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.
Drink lots of water always.....it's good for you.
