For Life “I need for you to understand that none of us came to this scene because we were normal or well-adjusted or even happy. We came to this scene because we felt marginalized by the outside world, ill-equipped for a conventional life, and most likely, very pissed off. We settled into this community because it was a relief to find other fucked-up people who wanted to be good to each other and do great things together. The hardcore scene is, in fact, a lifeline. But it’s not therapy. It’s not professional help when you need it. It’s just not enough.”
