So is anybody on here married? Anybody with kids? Anybody that has noticed themselves going to fewer shows since these things have happened? I myself just turned 29; I still go to as many shows as ever and I'm currently in two bands.Clint, Not sure how you'll be able to shoulder both the embarrassment of me breeding before the age of 30 and your total idiocy but with any luck you'll make it.
I've been thinking about these things lately because a few weeks ago Scott(guitar player in Rapid Adapter) went to a wedding back home in VA. There he met up with a bunch of "kids" from back in the day. They all applauded him for still being in a band and still going to shows at the ripe of old age of 28.
They, on the other hand, were a sad bunch: crummy jobs, crummy lives, crummy girls that are already their wives. Their big thrill is going to whatever new blockbuster movie comes out that week.
Always just feel so embarrassed for anyone that's married or especially has kids before 30-ish or so. I know the bulk of people out there are just generic filler and never had anything to offer to begin with. Ya know, so it's not so sad if they've given up on life, because they weren't ever gonna add anything to the discourse anyways.
Still though, it's weird. I want to ask all of them, "Haven't you been paying attention? Don't you know how tacky it is to have kids at 23?"
People, whadda-ya gonna do with 'em?

We go to shows together all the time, friends.
My wife and I are having children as early as possible because we don't want them to miss any good shows.

lame. i'm petitioning to have my children adopted by the scene. it takes a village. and the village needs doormen.
Also, if there's so many glaring logical flaws, point them out.

"Haven't you been paying attention? Don't you know how tacky it is to have kids at 23?"
all the people you called posers ten years ago, the people you said weren't in it for the long run, have actually proven themselves to be exactly what you claimed they'd be.
Eeeeh, I doubt they're all that happy, these aren't persons of great passion we're talking about here. They aren't led by their heart, or even their head really, they just go along and do "what they should" at whatever certain point.
YOU:"Why do you pay 600 bucks a month for an apartment that's not within walking distance of anything?"
THEM:"I have a car."
My statement is the same as it was at the beginning: it's a bummer when people whom used to be somewhat cool get out of touch.
I don't get why people automatically assume that some message board post made while bored late at night instantly equates with someone caring deeply about said topic. It's called "filler"... This is a message board, something must be discussed. Actually, it's a sign of a very weak stance if you have to resort to "Why do you even care about this?" as a counter argument. It's not actually even an argument."filler" just like those people who are having kids? I guess we all make our own kind of "filler." Dude, you're original post was so lame that it's amazing that you can even cop to a "geez, does everything have to matter here?" defense. Sure, some folks have kids and fade away for a variety of reasons. I myself have missed a ton of shows because of my kids and family, but I care pretty deeply about music so I do work pretty hard to keep it in my life. But I can't assume or expect that other people will do the same. I can't control their lives (and I certainly don't want to.) If you're gonna keep living there are whole variants of this shit that are gonna take a bite out of your lifestyle. When I told my parents that we weren't coming to visit them and I wasn't sure when they'd see their grandkids next they were all upset. Once I explained that the Blank Dogs were finally gonna play some NYC shows though and there was no way I could miss that they calmed down.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that people with kids are getting offended, but whoop-dee-freaking-do, you're the ones that couldn't figure out how a condom worked.
Actually, that's probably it, the people with "unplanned" kids are probably the ones biting the hardest.
As for everything Dusty said(or pasted):learn what logic is.
how about this? your logic is flawed because your opinions are stupid.
wow. having a bad day clint?
Nope, not at all. I asked GoZac to point out all the glaring logical flaws in my argument. You then responded by pasting sentences where I was stating personal opinion, which is an aesthetic matter. Aesthetics, even in best case scenarios, barely have anything to do with logic. To a large degree, these things are a matter of taste. I then pointed out that your post seemed to be ignorant of the whole concept of "logic".
Pretty cut and dry
Thanks, I remember the Thomas Neill quote.
I remember the context too.
What I can't remember is why the fuck you quoted Thomas Neill without a shadow of a tongue in your cheek in a thread about (assuming from what you were saying) Jay Reatard and/or Black Lips on a message board called Terminal Boredom.
You're arguing the foundations of logic on a board where a thread becomes monopolized by a discussion about the merits of Street Fighter 2.
Basically, it looks like you're trying to throw some intellectual weight around and it's coming off (to me) as really pedantic and sleazy.
But, like I said, you know, I'd probably drink a beer and talk music with you or whatever...
Just relax, mannnnn..

Ohhh jeeeeez.
Clint, what ruins the scene more, people having kids or people comparing the lack of success of Termbo bands to Karl Marx's funeral?
Is the "filler" of message boards you refer to when you were throwing around Thomas Neill quotes?
Like Aaron said, I'm sure you're a great guy or whatever, but shit, man, you're pissing on Richie's mainframe.
PS, my wife contributes to the scene big time. she washes my balls while i pack your record order.

Alright, Clint, I take it back.
You're probably an asshole.
It's funny to called out for saying "pedantic" by a guy who quotes Thomas Neill.
Thomas Neill! What band are YOU in ... I mean, are you CONTRIBUTING TO THE SCENE, MAN?? or do you just sit around making up quotes all day?
will you fops quit talking like lady chatterley's lover and remember that clint says
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SPAY OR NEUTER IN '08
NO NEW LIFEFORMS
Ahhh, finally a good postLogical flaws?
The main one is that b/c a relatively small group of your friends lead--in terms that you leave mostly undefined--pathetic lives b/c they are a certain age and married, then ALL people in that demographic lead pathetic lives. In logical terms, you have offered a position w/ a missing middle.
I think it's been defined by this point; i.e.they seemed "passionate" at one point and do not seem as such now. Or more-over, I assumed them to be passionate, but they proved themselves not to be. Of course, the term "passionate" is pretty vague as well.
Also, as I've just said, the drop off line for the age-genius curve generally co-insides with marriage and kids.QuoteBut worse than logic is the whole TONE of your post which presents your bullshit opinion about how people should lead their lives as some gold standard you've been mysteriously ordained to deliver to those of us bored and/or stupid enough to read your fuckin' hogwash.
Yes, I see myself as "ordained" because I am of the opinion, just like most of my generation, that having kids as young as people used to have kids is a silly, silly thing.QuoteNice to be able to live life from a position where you decide what goals one should strive for and, better yet, pick the precious few who may strive for those goals.
Newsflash, dipshit, pretense aside, that's the way everyone lives their life.QuoteP.S. If the saddest thing you've ever seen is a dusty drum kit, then your whole life-judging rubric is on the verge of collapse.
Yes, when I off handed made the comment, "saddest thing in the world", I fully, literally meant that it was the saddest thing in the world. Much like when people call you you a "mother-fucker", they are seriously claiming that you engage in incest. Couldn't just be that that's a saying, an expression, could it?
I thought in order to be a pedant you had to actually know something.

I got friends with kids who are inspiring and friends with kids who are depressing. Seems like I run into a lot more people with kids who are depressing than inspiring, at least from people my age, but then again I'm one of those people who believes that you owe it to your children to try and achieve what you want out of life before you settle down and have children. It seems pretty simple to me. Some people have no dreams other than having kids though, and that is depressing to me too, seems kind of empty to me, but maybe that's because I've never really had any desire to procreate.
This thread has me reconsidering all my goals and dreams. DAMMIT!
START A BAND IMMEDIATELY. PLAY IN FRONT OF TEN PEOPLE FOR THREE DRINK TICKETS AND LESS MONEY THAN YOU PAY FOR PRACTICE SPACE RENT. DO IT NOW OR ELSE YOU'LL REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!! IT'S YOUR ONLY HOPE!!!!!!
Classic strawman tactic.
this is a sad, sad thread.
Again, this is just ad hominem, yet another logical fallacy. Learn how to stick to a point and not just degenerate into insulting people.
The clusterfuck mentality of modern day Termbo is odd. This 19 page thread has under ten responses that are actually worth the time they took to type. I think Kevin said something about that:more chatter, less actual talk
Clearly the tactic of someone in over their head argument-wise.
But the thing is, nothing that anybody writes on here is very well thought out. Nothing is all that pleasing to the mind. Most of the time, it's lucky if you can even struggle through to the end of things.
I thought you just read Tolstoy, very, very slowly.
It must be great to be so self satisfied that you feel you can easily dismiss several paragraphs with five words and a fart noise.
So you would say you are not devoted to music and it's surrounding concerns?
Learn how to make a point without shitting on your whole belief system.
And people accuse me of being a pedant.
No real comment here, this sentence is just funny.
"Hey, I wanna join in on the conversation..... Hey wait, I don't have anything good to contribute. What do I write? Oh, I know."
I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that people with kids are getting offended, but whoop-dee-freaking-do, you're the ones that couldn't figure out how a condom worked.
Furthermore, people who can't understand a simple example of "Greatness does not always equal success in your own life time" is pretty disruptive to things as well.
Yes, everyone on Termbo is extremely stupid and any attempts at "higher" or even "lengthier" argument will be met with failure.
Man, "pedantic" has really become one of those words, hasn't it? Like "paradigm", or "pro-active" or whatever. Such an abused term. The height of lazy, catch-all criticism. Sorry ta be peddlin' ma half assed "pseudo-intellectualism"(there's another one of those terms), I'm sorry it's so offensive to people. Didn't know the aesthetic of "dumb" so ruled the roost here.
Uhhhh..... was that cut & pasted directly from your response to an old Young Steve thread or an old Kevin thread?
Newsflash, dipshit, pretense aside, that's the way everyone lives their life.
Now, first of all, congrats, because you're championing mediocrity here. I mean, it can be played off as mere "message board contrarianism", but still, congrats.
Ha ha, you're arguing grammar here, that's great....
Seriously, that's not an argument, it's just name calling. Look, I can do the same thing, "You claim me to be an overly judgemental asshole. You say this is a bad thing, but of all the people here, you yourself most clearly demonstrate those traits.
As was clarified later, what I'm specifically talking about is people who once upon a time seemed passionate, but then lost it.
It's just funny to have gotten to the age where all the people you called posers ten years ago, the people you said weren't in it for the long run, have actually proven themselves to be exactly what you claimed they'd be.
Eeeeh, I doubt they're all that happy, these aren't persons of great passion we're talking about here. They aren't led by their heart, or even their head really, they just go along and do "what they should" at whatever certain point.
I guess the only impressive thing is that they ever seemed to even have a little bit of a spark.
If having kids equals people contributing to the community less, which it usually does, then clearly that's more destructive to the "scene".
Probably the better dichotomy is people that go from living somewhat passionate lives to non-passionate ones.
I think it's been defined by this point; i.e.they seemed "passionate" at one point and do not seem as such now. Or more-over, I assumed them to be passionate, but they proved themselves not to be. Of course, the term "passionate" is pretty vague as well.
But the thing is, nothing that anybody writes on here is very well thought out. Nothing is all that pleasing to the mind. Most of the time, it's lucky if you can even struggle through to the end of things.
Did you try dipping your balls in a glass of milk?
I don't have time to read every post in this thread. Forgive me, I'm married and don't have time for this shit anymore!
Remember, Clint doesn't have to work because of some disease he has so he can live off of the system while old and married people like me have to work our asses off everyday. And he can sit on his high horse and look down on people while he finds Snickers bars in his fat rolls while sitting on the computer all day. That said, Clint is a decent fellow in person and harbor no ill will to him. I'm married, and the reason I haven't been to many shows this summer is more due to lack of funds (because if I go to shows, I end up drinking away my paycheck!) and shit like that, not all because of domestication and "losing my passion."
Getting married and still being into underground music and shit is more of an accomplishment than being a lonely loser living off government issued checks wondering where everybody went.
What about me? I'm 28, on SSI and have never paid taxes or had a real job in my entire life? Will I get any money?
That is to say, any more money?
-airbrushed paintings of Beverly Cleary's pussy.
Alrighty, finally sobered up enough to respond. I think I'll do the numbers thing again:
1.Good old Steve, always with the logical fallacy. This time it's "appeal to authority" for his implicit assertion that anyone that hasn't gone to college is completely incapable of rational discourse.
It should be noted that I picked up all this rational fallacy stuff about five or six years ago from arguing with two different people with philosophy degrees. Ya know, I'd say this or that, and they'd point out the fallacy. In fairly short order I'd absorbed it. It's a good tool for arguing with people. Anyone into being an asshole on message boards should look into it.
2.The new member ranks:It's nice to see that passive aggressive people who can't argue have found a way to express themselves.
3.The disability stuff:I'll be lucky to make it past forty. In fact, about five years ago a doctor told me I'd die in seven-some years without surgery, but fuck that guy, what does he know
4.You know that thing where a word loses all meaning if it's been repeated too many times? That's the way it is with my name and this thread.
5.What do people expect, exactly? For me to somehow admit to being the "stupidest person to ever post on this board"? I'm sure some people are shouting, "All we want is for you to shut up!", but hey, I ain't the one that made this thread 21 pages long. If you want to marginalize and/or ignore me then maybe you should do just that.
6.None of this has anything at all to do with the original point. The original point, which I conceed, might've been a little bit murkly defined at first.
7.I can do personal attacks easily. I can answer back the latest round of responces and just continue this crap on ad nauseum, but really, what's the point? Some might say it's fun to give the people that like to argue something to hem and haw about but they're not worth it. I want someone good to argue with, not all this amateur-hour bullshit. Someone with a zest for rigor, ha ha...
8.I wonder how many people are taking this at least somewhat seriously? I mean, even just me typing that will have people claiming even more so that they aren't but I think a case can be made that of all the stupid, lengthy disputes on here, this one has something of a special character to it. It was probably me rejecting Mike's peace offer of the "You'd probably be okay to have a beer with" that tipped it over the edge. Coincidently, that's one of the reasons I've shied away from arguing with people online over the last few years, you always have to make friends with them afterwards. It's like some weird male bonding ritual. I see why so many females get turned off by such things(i.e.having a major presence on argument-prone message boards)
9.The best thing about all of it is, there's gonna be at least a couple people that are pretending to be so above all this. They didn't chime in on the thread, or just made a fairly toothless comment or two. The thing is, they're the ones that are gonna remember this and bear a grudge. I'd name names about persons that have done similiar things before, but they know who they are. Remember, like Kevin said the one time(and I'm paraphrasing here), it wouldn't be necessary to fuck with you so hardcore if you'd just come out and admit... well, you know the rest
10.It's still fucking tacky to have kids at 22 or be married at 18.
Clint's talking about small town shit though. That shit is depressing. And, ya know, it doesn't always take a whole lot of passion or love for those types to raise a family either.
good lord, it's the white bradx.
yeah, i'm a suave motherfucker.

Kevin, that situaion with a one night stand and having a kid is bad news. I think everyone could agree with that. I think you and Clint both have a good outlook on that part of it for sure. If thats what Clint means by it too.
I think you have to be able to be a rapid adapter though if it does happen. As for getting married, just make sure you can deal with the chic. My woman for example does not like any kind of good music. but I love her for who she is. and she balances me out too. I used to be very nihilistic and get into these self-deprecating "life is over" type of funks because I thought that getting married was "ruining me", but I was ruining myself with that outlook. I thought SHE was doing this to me, but I was being a big fat pussy because I was blaming her existence as a wife for me not getting off my own fucking ass and achieving anything. Its the hardest thing in the world to realize and te easiest thing in the world to do. you just get off your ass and deal with it.

You forgot to mention the fact that Tina and I left before even drinking a single beer so we could go home and watch television...
of course, mainly because we wanted to save money to buy a Plastic People of the Universe album.

You need to be in my new band Wine Shoppe...it is the adult version of Liquor Store.
First song: "In Early, Up Early"

SPOT on.
I read the first few pages of this thread before I just didn't have it in me to go any further, so apologies if I'm repeating anything already said.
I'm married to someone who I enjoy being around and talking to more than anyone else on the planet.
I have kids.
I know how a fucking condom works and I'm not sad, depressing, faded away, or any of the other bullshit adjectives ascribed to me by pigeon-holing dipshits who make sweeping generalizations.
I'm not biting back either, because I realized a long time ago that trying to convice someone who doesn't have kids that they don't know a goddamn thing about raising kids is the same as punching a brick wall. The people who think having a family is a vacant, meaningless existence don't have them and don't speak from any kind of experience at all. One of my kids is actually adopted and I am grateful to myself every goddamn day for making the choice to adopt her. And I did it when I was 28.
Standing in a smoky room wall to wall with a bunch of drunken yahoos screaming out lyrics along with a band is an awful lot of fun, sure, and I still get out as often as I want to do it, which is fairly often. But it's got absolutely nothing whatsoever on two ten year olds, a four year old and me dancing around my living room in front of my old turntable listening to punk rock and making each other laugh. And fuck you if you think it does.
And contributing to the community? What are you doing to "contribute to the community?" Me- I'm a 911 operator. I tell people like you what to do when the shit hits the fan...when your sister gets raped or your mom's having a heart attack. And when all of those "passionless" people call me when their kids who make their lives so dreary and empty are in danger or aren't breathing... I guaran-fucking-tee you there is more urgency in their voices than there is in anyone who's panicking because they can't make it out to a show. You have no idea what it means to care that much about something, so it's hard for me to take you seriously when you say "these aren't persons of great passion we're talking about here." So sometimes I have to miss a show or two so I can work the night shift and be able to handle the call for the twenty year old who broke his arm in the pit that night. There are more ways of contributing than making music, or showing support at a show, and I get shit-tons of moral satisfaction out of the work I do.
All told, my job, my life as a family man who still gets to do what he wants, how I enjoy my children...it all makes me more at peace with my existence than all the records or live shows in the world ever could.
See..the biggest difference between you and me is that I have passion for music, so I know what it feels like. You don't have any idea what it feels like to have what I have, and instead of "being embarrassed" for me, you might be inquisitive about what it is I have that makes my life so much better than it was before I had it.
And for the record, stagnancy is what is really sad and embarassing. I'd fucking hate my life if I was doing the same thing I was doing when I was twenty one because it would mean I was sedentary, not evolving at all, and refusing to accept anything new into my life.
"Clint-Like Content"
Getting married was definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done in my whole life and I'm proud of the fact that I've had many opportunities to do many very cool things in my life. Although I am pretty adamant about waiting a while before we have kids, just so we can be more responsible parents, I'm pretty sure that having a kid is even going to top getting married and everything else I've ever done with my life. It'll also probably be the punkest thing I've ever done.Kids are cool 90% of the time. Alot more entertaining than seeing some lame "punk" band at some shitty bar where beers cost $4. I was 31 when our 1st kid was born, it pays to wait.
Clint - no official online listing. I try to post up the madness worth attending right here on the 'bo.
Mark your calendar for July 26th...
HOME BLITZ, PINK REASON, MOUNT CARMEL (fingers crossed!) along with other general Lafayette mis-haps.

This is probably a good place to point out it's Fred Cole's birthday today.
"Screw you, I'mold/married/have kidsand I still go to shows!"
yeah, fuck you clint./
What I like about this thread is that it allows both sides of the "issue" to disagree with me.
To wit, one side can say: "Screw you, I'm old/married/have kids and I still go to shows!"
While the other side can say: "I'm married/have kids/am old and I DON'T go to so many shows any more, and that's how it should be, it's sad when people never grow up. Screw you!
Moral of the Story: Screw Clint
the thread that keeps on giving!
the thread that keeps on giving!
Yep. Some babies have bowel movements and vaginas and stuff.Playing with your baby daughter and having her hug your neck and whisper "daddy, i just shit" in your ear...

I wasn't saying it's a "great accomplishment"... and a PAIN IN THE ASS is right! Haha... but so worth it. I mean, assuming that there is a strong bond there which hopefully there is. If you don't want kids then yeah, PLEASE, don't have any!
As for marriage I'd imagine that if it were a happy one that the husband and wife would give two shits what Clint thought of their involvement in the local punk scene is all.
Ridiculous thread.
If 50 soldiers went out for a battle and only 30 came back, would you call that a successful effort?
The board just went through one of it's worst months in years.
Did it ever occur to you that I just might be fucking with you for fun because you started a stupid ass thread?Ok, I lied and went and read the whole rant. I guess it did occur to you.
clit was being a total dick
I am most definitely in the "stupid cunt" segment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw6WPSUlKb0HAhahahah PERFECT.
You fags are still hanging out on message boards and sniffin each others clits and panties after all these years?aint that crazy? was doing so way before you were here and will do so long after you go on to do whatever it is people like you do with the rest of their lives. good luck on the auctions, lots of good records in there!
Why don't you make yourself useful and buy my fucking records you stupid dildo head motherfuckers.

Mr. Medical makes fun, but that clip is about nothing other than divorced people. And as we all know, obviously, the same will happen to him once Mrs. Medical finds out about his secret girlfriend in Pewaukee.
Yes, there is a place called Pee-Walk-E...
I'm fucked. Divorced with two kids and I just knocked up my girlfriend. Two years from now I will live under a bridge
