Heya Tem! Long time no see! ♥ Ummmm i dont think anythin intrestins been happenin...oh, Pops is back!! Aaaand we have a new jerk, but Sass and i sorted him out so i think he'll behave. Maybe. If he dosnt im gonna stael his car. :D
Oh, and we have a new guitarist! We still gotta have that jam sessoin, if your not too busy~?
Hiya Naruto, did you miss me? I don't believe you about nothing interesting. I saw Neji earlier and he was looking quite interesting. Obito's back? That's great! I thought he'd finally swandived off the Brooklyn bridge. And a new jerk? That sounds wildly exciting, you know how much of a soft spot I have for those kinds. What kind of car does he have?
Another guitarist? Good lord. I'm never too busy to jam ♥
Of course i missed you! I miss you even when your still here~ Yeah...poor Neji. Somone shuld tell him orange aint his color, huh? HAHAHA!! Uhhhh Kiba drives a Camaro. Its prety hot, actuly, so i probly wouldnt crash it TOO badly. :DDD
Awwww, well aren't you cavity inducing? Oh hey, my underwear being lime green wouldn't have anything to do with Neji's hair and Kiba's Camero, would it?
Um...maybe. I'll keep hunting through my bags and let you know if any turn up. You should come with me next time, it's a blast! The blues clubs alone are basically orgasmic.
Your handwriting certainly isn't familiar. I'm Temari, and it's always a pleasure to meet new jerks, Kiba.
Dot-Bot? What kind of car do you have that's so intensely desirable?
Blues isn't usually my thing, but maybe I should expand my cultural...something. Okay, I have no idea where I was going with that one, aside fom a 'yeah, okay, count me in.' So we'll leave it at that. HAHA!!
Pleased to meet you also, Temari. What classes are you taking here?
....that should have been Dot-Boy. Where the fuck did that 't' come from? Anyway, I drive a nice shiny red Chevvy '61 Impala SS. ♥
If you listen to rock music, you secretly listen to blues. The seventies rock explosion ripped it's roots straight out of the blues scene, its a powerful space. Bitchin', we'll have a good time.
I'm in my third year of a double concentration in guitar and vocal. Yourself?
Chaging it to Dot-Boy still doesn't clarify the nature of the nickname, nor enligten me as to it's original story.
SHUT UP! I drive a '65. The sandblasted orange one in the parking lot beside the dorms.
I didn't read the article in question, but I remember the punk culture in the UK being very white. It was associated with skinheads, though I was told that there was a schism in the subculture between the racist punks and their detractors.
But because of this, I don't think punk could really have influenced rap, which I've always seen as black music. I don't know how black people feel about it, but I do know that the Chinese and Japanese kids that liked rap were never interested in punk. They picked up on it's racist image.
Industrial is also a very white scene. I couldn't go to some of the shows in Manchester because the skinhead presence was overwhelming.
I wouldn't go to certain rap shows in certain neighborhoods either, frankly. I don't know if you would be much safer there.
It wasn't about Punk being an influence on Rap, it was about rap filling the vacuum in social voice that used to be filled by American hardcore. Punk as a scene basically checked out after Reagen's re-election due to the liquid and fluid nature of mass attention and youth alienation and disillusonment. In the space left, Rap has surged, speaking for the next wave of the suppressed and incensed.
If you want to get into racist aspects though, they can be applied to all forms of music. Rap can be just as racist against white kids as anarchist punk can be of black kids. All it's ever really been in any of the waves and movements was strays looking for tribes and bonding over what they obviously shared, which is usually racial segregation and elitism in any and all of its forms.
Rap and punk are both political, but I don't think they speak to the same audience or fill the same niche. I think that punk turned into industrial, EBM, new wave and a bunch of others. The heir to punk's political voice is in that group. Rap seems to have come from an entirely different source. I haven't noticed a lot of white punks listening to rap music, certainly not in the UK

Aaand I don't think we've met - Kiba Inuzuka, the new 'jerk'.
Also, Dot-Bot: how many times do I have to repeat myself about you touchin' my car? Ass.
