THUKs cover of The Cure Close to Me is one of my favorite covers ever

The songs….. omg…. There is so much to pull from Chicago bands, heck I would even take just midwestern period…. Give me a Naked Raygun song already.

Luckily I live in Texas so I auto revert to “y’all”….. that will only be my cancelled by my northeastern family members

25 was the worst! It was that birthday that felt like there were no more number oriented milestones that would involve recklessness

I’m gay….. dude and girl are still gender neutral terms to me as well.

100% agree on the 1-5. The Rodbells years are my personal favorite

Or not knowing what a band was going to sound like. Every show had the potential to be your band of the moment

The feeling that we were progressing as a society

The only thing I remember about this show is some old lady in a scene turning to one of the then and saying “and I thought you people were supposed to be jolly!”

It seems like she knew she just wasn’t long for this world.. what she didn’t expect was it to be something the world would forever know about

He mom did a great job on conveying her pain, while also bringing you in on the effects it had on everyone around her…. And the pain that comes with having that person immortalized as if she were a nothing

It’s mind blowing she was only 21 when she died… she was sooooo young

One of the things that can’t be overlooked is they also looked really good too…. They are one of those bands that had a spin on the hardcore image at the time, incorporating britpop fashion into traditional 90s hardcore fashion.

I still know the words to the Picture Page theme song

Gary also relies on the shows income. NC means no show

OTE is the greatest movie ever

If you like that pink hair, it was GenXers that got their ass kicked everyday so you could be safe having that pink hair.

I was in NYC clubs at 15 years old. Even the punk shows I would go to always had some sketchy things happening…… I can’t imagine a 15 yo nowadays in any of the situations or able to get away with any of it
