message, ultimately, of peace and love. He is

on the dance floor; they didn’t call it mosh pits yet. It began to attract
people showing up just to see if they could get in fights in the pit or
jump off stage and punch people in the back of the head and run
away. I noticed some of the really bad thugs were clearly not
teenagers, they looked quite a bit older, which makes me wonder if
they were really undercover cops.
● People started asking me, “Are you down with this? Thing are
changing, the audience is younger, hard core is coming up and it’s a
more extreme form of punk,” and I liked that kind of music, but I
thought if we’re gonna play this music, we need to distance ourselves
from that side of the scene. The initial premise of the song was "You
violent people at shows are acting like a bunch of Y," and that was as
far as it went. Then the real ideological X began coming out of the
closet.

manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the
