There's blood on the coil
Somebody's on the floor
It's the face of somebody I love
No one gets out alive. Turn your back and run
I believe! The ones below will reap the consequence from those above
We tip the scales in the fight for truth and love
This world's a never ending cycle of pain
New wage slavery! Know that we're not the same
New age slavery! Feel the weight of the chains
I saw this hate5six video of their set and was hooked from the start. What a way to start a show. Just trust me, whatever you're expecting from a hardcore show, it won't be this.

WE ARE SO BACK (not really i will forget about this page in due time) moving was a pain my back hurts pretty bad but alas im alive. i hope you all have been well. post-hardcore post next :0
idk how to promote this but uh girls make hxc music, good hxc music, and they deserve love within and outside of their scenes.
im still adding to the playlist as i discover new bands, etc but most of these bands are on the smaller size in terms of popularity! please give them some love :33
I've been considering actually buckling down and writing a story with some of my OCs, but I'd really like it to be a "historical" fiction set in about 1979-1982, and the problem is I like to inject some amount of realism to the things I write, but I wasn't alive at that time and research will probably be difficult.
If I get really into a topic, I don't mind if the research is time-consuming, but I'm guessing that I'm only going to be able to find information scattered in fat lib type of zines or records about the Bear community, which is probably going to be a big effort to compile and sift through what is actually relevant...
There are so many little questions I have, like how hard was it to find clothes in very large sizes back then and at what size did it start getting difficult? How did fashion the time impact kink - like, if certain types of clothing that were more popular lent themselves to certain tropes or themes, like crop-tops or spandex suits etc. Maybe there are completely obsolete things that I'm not even aware of that could be or were used in kinky ways (like, if there was, I don't know, a glove stretching kink back when people had to use those glove stretching tools?). When did certain feedism and g/e terms originate? I haven't been able to find any pre-early 2000s records of feedism and g/e communities, though I've admittedly not done an aggressive search yet.
How easy was it to buy scales over certain weights? Different methods of gaining come in and out of vogue, so what were they then? Diet culture had its own flavor back then, so how did g/e or feedism or their prototypes reflect those differences?
Was it just the wild west and there weren't any of these terms and people just did this kind of kinky stuff anyway or did it fall under the names of other kinks?
Idk maybe I'm being silly or overlooking an obvious resource, but it seems like a huge undertaking and I'd really like to do this research someday once I have the bandwidth, but I'm not even sure I'll be able to find what I want!
But then maybe part of the fun will be creating an imagined feedist past for the 70s/80s! Idk but it's been living at the back of my head for years and I want it to happen someday :)
seeing hxc bay area bands like scowl getting on coachella lineups will forever be mind boggling to me. cus imagine trying to see blackpink and getting crowdkilled during the hardest breakdown youve ever heard
