Two of my favorite dudes on the internet, Sarge D from Stuff You Will Hate, and , from Leisure/Platform/Pretty Real spent some time rubbing each other's shoulders today on Noisey. That's like a Voltron of funny blogs right there. Excerpt below. Read the whole thing here.
Give Scene Kids A Sense Of Humor
Someone once said that youth is wasted on the young. Step forward hardcore and metal scene kids. Traditionally these guys get so into the music that they suck the fun out of their own youth. All that free time, lack of responsibilities and the ability to party hard whenever they want, and yet they spend hours arguing about records on the internet, impose weird moral codes upon themselves and hang out at shows where the attendance is 99% male.
There's the miserableness of being straight edge, the unnecessary piousness of veganism, angry politics and music that’s ultimately unlistenable to the vast majority of humans. Then, after four or five years of this shit, they grow up and regret that they spent their formative years in self-imposed exile from their peers.
The proprietor of Stuff You Will Hate, Sergeant D, is one of those ex-grumps, and he’s taken it upon himself to be the bigger brother to an entire generation of dorks who take life too seriously. His observations about youth culture are so insanely spot on, that it’s impossible not to take the life advice he dispenses. As a result, Stuff You Will Hate has become an internet phenomenon among metal and hardcore fans looking to better themselves.
So I spoke to Sergeant D about how he changes lives daily.
