I think you mean XLIFRUINERX.

No, they reformed without any of the members from that lineup. They're like a straight edge boy band.

Right now I'm picturing Lance Bass and Justing Timberlake in white hoodies and camo shorts, with x'ed up hands. JTim pulls it off nicely.

Thank you!

Why do all the straight edge bands play metal hardcore? I think a nice cool drink would mellow them out a bit.

But they're so posi!

I don't know, I think they're good. I couldn't imagine them being one of the worst punk bands ever. There are just so many shitty ones out there; you could name any of the Youth of Today clones out there, for instance.

What about Fallout Boy/AFI lolz?

I kinda like FOB's first album, and AFI's first four or five albums.

-100 punk points.

Meh, I think that some of it is good; really when it errs more on the DEP/Converge side rather than the Hatebreed thing.

There is worth and shit to every genre.

Oh yeah I definitely agree Shai Hulud, Converge, Deadguy etc. are all phenomenal bands, but that's because they really have their own style. All these copycat Hatebreed/Throwdown/Terror bands are horrific though.

Too bad this band doesn't sound like those bands.

Never understood straight edge. How about "meh, i just don't drink, no big deal"???
Same with skins I guess, my town is full of 30-40 yr old dudes that still wear all these patches and shit everywhere, nice enough guys but, c'mon I stopped bleaching my hair and wearing baggy pants when I was like 22 even though I still liked fat wreck in the 90's. Not that we all need to abandon our ideals and start wearing kakhi slacks and pastel colored polo shirts or anything but cliques are so boring.

It doesn't mean just not drinking, dude. If you just want to not drink, that's cool. Don't be straightedge then. It's more of a mind set for me. You need to have a *reason* to not want to get fucked up. When I find myself sitting around bored off my ass thinking, "so this is why people drink for fun", then I get off my ass and practice music, or go skating, or work out, or just do anything constructive.

And before everyone thinks I'm a stuck-up asshole (or is it too late already?), I used to drink - HEAVILY, and I didn't have that much fun, so I've seen both sides and I like the non-drinking life much, much better. And I don't have anything against people drinking. I'm in a band with dudes that drink/smoke and I couldn't care less.

Oh yeah, and I'm 21, have bleached hair, wear baggy pants, and listen to Fat Wreck shit all the time. Just cuz you gave up on something doesn't mean it went out of style. And if it did go out of style, who gives a fuck? I'll look however I want and listen to whatever I want.

Not that it matters one bit but, I think bleached hair and baggy pants did go out of style. Although when I see it now I just think of juggalos. I do, however, still listen to fat wreck.

So wear a jester hat, a skirt, and paint your skin green. Then you'll be unique. How does anyone think even for a nano-second that they're not part of some stereotype for how they dress?

I remember some Mitch Clem blog or comic or whatever once I stumbled on where he was making fun of punk fashion, and it's like, dude, you wear orgcore band shirts and have a beard, just like the rest of the 20-something jerks these days.

This.

The trick is to dress like everyone did in highschool 10 years ago, and then people think you're either being unique or old skool.

Sometimes I think I still do, whether I'm trying or not. Everyone kinda gravitates to their 17 or 18 year old self when it comes to fashion.

Like, I'm 27, and I wouldn't consider for an instant going out in public in one of those nuevo-skateboard hoodies with all the crumpled up newspaper/ ghetto/ high contrast designs. Cuz I'd look like an idiot and a child, but years later when some kid is now 27, he'll be wearing some variation of that and thinking whatever that trend morphed into is obnoxious.

I'm not saying I'm unique becaue I don't dress the part. I probably do dress the part. I buy band t-shirts and all that shit. I just don't make an effort to look cool. that's probably why I don't look cool. I just grew out of trying to look crazy or weird or whatever. I have no problem with the punk scene in general, I've been a part of it for a long time and probably always will be but I don't feel the need to wear my "cred" on my sleeve. I just have better things to do than spend hours and hours sewing patches on my jacket or making my t-shirts look old. Like the fucking gutter punks that hang out and beg for change yet their wearing a 200 dollar leather jacket with 100 dollars worth of spikes and studs and shit on it.

I would certainly define my self as punk but punk surely doens't define who I am.

I guess that's my probem with straight edge. If your positive about life that's fine. If you don't drink that fine. I really don't give a fuck what "set you claim". I drink heavily also, and it's fucking fun most of the time. But that's not who I am.
