“For me, music is in no way ornamental or decorative, it's constitutive of who I am. And that's why, when I say I'm a blues man, that's a very serious vocation - to muster the courage to find your own unique voice, to forge your distinctive style in the world, to leave your imprint in the sands of time in such a way that your singularity, your individuality, remains something that people have to come to terms with.” PeopleMenWorldWayVoiceTermStyleSeriousMusic IsUniqueRemainsIndividualityWho I AmSandVocationDistinctiveSingularityMusterUnique VoicesSands Of Time Author:Cornel West

It's kind of a thing where, unless you're active in the hardcore community, what could you have to say of value about it? It resists criticism because it's not just a style but an entrance into several different worlds of ideas- political, philosophical, societal. The music is really only part of the whole scene. In that sense, the music doesn't change much because it shouldn't: It needs to be there as a signal that you're entering into a certain discursive mode, maybe.” WorldKindDifferentPoliticalValuesCommunityStyleSceneMusic IsCriticismPhilosophicalHardcore Author:John Darnielle
