Music reviews of The Young and the Hopeless
Music Review: Look: Anti-Argument Critisism about Good Charlotte! Wow!
Rating: 1 Stars
You people who say the popular kids just care about money and fame, how do you know that's true? Do you ever talk to them? Do you ever try to get to know them? Or do you just blindly make enemies. Could a person be popular because they are nice and like to get to know all people before judging them? Yes it's possible. I agree some people suck. A lot of the "popular" crowd does suck. Some of them can be real crappy to people. But when you're all coming together for unity, at least know about what you're unifying against. If you get to know some of those "mean" popular kids at the school, you might find that some of them are good people who do care and watch out for their friends, and do know what love and compassion for the people they care about is, and do know what it's like being different. You will meet a lot of crappy people, yes, but they are just living the same confused high school years as you are.
I'll make a quick remark that might sound a little shallow here. Some of you kids, not all, but some of you who say you're so different and against conformity and that makes you so punk rock, I know a lot of you try so hard to dress a certain way just to be different from all the preps, jocks, valley girls and whatever other groups you classify people to be in. Your clothes are expensive, just like theirs, made to follow a certain trend, just like theirs, and you aren't being unique by wearing what you wear.
Beside that, you can't say that that's what punk rock is all about, because you're trying to claim something that isn't even true. Not to say this is what punk rock is all about either, but basically it started as a movement for anarchy, and then later moved toward a struggle for the lower class. I don't see how all the sudden punk rock is about rich people who want to rise in unity against other rich people.
Anyway, back to the clothes. If you wear that stuff because you simply like how it looks, that's cool. I like how it looks on a lot of people. I'm not rising up against it. But if you think you're being a punk rebel by doing that, you're fooling yourself. You people who like the band for the music and like the clothes for the look, I'm not knocking you. And I'm not looking for an argument. I'm not even trying to diss people I'm writing this about. I'm just saying to try and be a little more open-minded. If you say that this "being different" is rising up with like a huge number of people in each high school against people who aren't like you, I don't see much difference or appreciation for being unique there.
You can be unique in your own ways. Find those things about yourself and let people know who you really are, and if someday you are forced by the rich society you live in to conform and all that, you're not losing who you are, and people who know you and meet you will always know who you are. Trying to make a living and eventually fight to be happy with your life, while fighting for other causes you believe in as well, isn't such a horrible thing. I think that you'll find that if right now, you wear what you like, live how you like, and stop stressing yourself over how different you are, you'll learn that there are more important and more affecting issues to fight for out there. You might meet some cool people. You might have more fun living the life you live. I'm not saying conform. I'm not saying to try as hard as you can to fit in. Just learn that stepping away from trends and being different isn't about rising up against people who aren't like you. It just means being yourself.
This is NOT a post against Good Charlotte. I won't get online and say things to try and diss a band and its fans. If I met the band, I would say what I said now, but I would rather it be a debate than to see who can insult the other the most. But actually I think Good Charlotte should look at themselves as an example. It's not like being part of the "different" crowd in high school destroyed their lives. I mean come on it ultimately made them millionaires who can have celebrity girlfriends, and pretty much whatever they want. But that's beside the point. It's just an observation.
Also, when you look at how unfortunate so many people in this country and this world are, you might see that you really don't have it all that bad in high school. If you can learn to be happy with what you have, then maybe you can rise up and fight for something other than yourselves, like people who don't have the luxury of even knowing what feeling different in high school is. I think that maybe a voice should be given to the poor and the struggling middle class in our society, who really do have hard lives. There is so little notice and so much disrespect for poverty and death that happens in our country, and it's really kind of scary.
Anyway, I'd like to dispel anything people here might be thinking right now, by telling you who you are hearing this from. I live in a very upper class community and go to a very upper class school. My family has some money, but we have been really struggling lately with my dad living in Ohio for his job. We are paying for a house and a condo right now and are struggling with money, and my mom is having a really hard time with my dad away and the stress of having so little time to do the old fun things. We would move to Ohio, but my brother and I have too much here. I have a girlfriend that I love with all my heart. I didn't know that beautiful feeling of true happiness before I met her, and I didn't know what it felt like to be able to feel so amazing that I could go run outside in the rain to dance and sing, even if I'm alone, not caring who might see you or how bad things are at the time. I also have two close friends who I love just as much, and those three are my life.
I don't have anything against rich people and if I was born rich I wouldn't hate myself for it, but I would take a huge part in using my good fortune to help others as much as I can who don't have the luxuries that I do. I would devote my life to it. But I do have struggles in my life and stresses, and I know that I can't help other people as well until I can help myself, but I try.
I talk to people from every social aspect of the school. From the popular crowd to those people who sit alone most of the time, from the rich to the poor, from the gay to the straight, and from the whole spectrum of black to white, and I find good things in them all, despite their flaws that exist as well, though the same flaws can exist in any group. It's funny how if you really know people, you'll find that a lot of them really aren't that different from each other as you would think they would be.
As to my own "style," I don't really have one. I try to buy cheaply because I am happy with Salvation Army clothing and whatever I can find, and that way I can use my money for other things that are more important to me than style. But that's just me, and there's no fault in being different from that. I have a job. I work at a bagel shop. The bands I listen to often are Tool, Nirvana, The Suicide Machines, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Iron and Wine, The Shins, Beck, Rancid, Operation Ivy, Hendrix, A lot of Ska and a lot of other good stuff. Music has always been my biggest passion. And that's all I have to say about...everything.
