I have noticed a huge new wave of new shitty ass folks on the road and cities alike. The new generation of folks that fall into the alternative subcultures that you, or perhaps I fall into have seem to have drug us down. People in our scene getting all stab happy, blowing up spots, the dickhead movement, and just burnt out shitkickers that have since long burnt their bridges down seem to be in more places than ever.
Sure, I've done some real dumb shit it my time, but I learned from my actions. What I don't get is how many stupid fuckers are out and about as of late. I was sitting with my boy Jay the other day and we were talking about how d-bags/undercover-yuppies/shitkickers have also made their presence in the community. I don't know what really started the discussion, but we eventually both agreed that there were so many shitty fuckers involved. There are fewer good solid folks left around. We both live in buses, and take pride in what we do, how we operate, our work, and our agendas. Perhaps we are getting older, more jaded, and fed up with all the idiocy that comes along with being a dipshit/greenhorn.
How do some people not understand that when you shit under a tree, you can't sleep there the next day. That is... if you're okay with sleeping on top of shit. It seemed before, violence was only used for justifying a critical point that was constantly being violated. Or perhaps to defend against predators, police, etc. So many of our friends have phoned us on the road and told stories about all these fuckers are getting all stab happy, or wave their "smileys" around, get beat up by fellow "punks" and so forth. It's just sad. Common courtesy seems to be a thing of the past. Hobo code, migrant dignity and presence is slowly washing away.
Now, perhaps it's the whole buslife that might be getting to my head, but really... holy fuck. Now, most of my experiences with people are positive. Not trying to make this some debby downer post, but jesus tapdancing christ. The audacity of some people these days is hilarious. I have had people straight up flip shit because I wouldn't let them in bus. It's my bus, I built it, and if you're too drunk and spill beers outside, why would I want you on my bus? Just because people have band patches and shit on their coat doesn't mean they can come and just fuck all my shit up. As of now, we are a bus crew of 4. 4 Full size fucking buses. Shits kicking ass, but how do you easily tell people no? How do you break it to a douch that they're being way out of line? I try to keep it chill, hang out, build shit, craft, have fun, but how does one actually go about keeping the peace and keeping shit on point when douchers try and involve themselves? My home isn't a fucking drop in center, and some feel that way. No, our/my bus(es) are not going to not allow EVERYONE who comes by, but holy shit we have gotten picky as to whom we let in as of late.
Fuckin neo oogles. BLOWING UP SPOTS. Leaving trash everywhere. Stab Happy. Blacking out and stealing from local businesses. Just being shitheads.
tl;dr Getting really fed up with shitty people like burnouts, scumfucks, and posers-without-principle. How do you deal?
