alright so i feel like some variation of this conversation has been a long time coming but i wanna hear from everybody in here who grew up in some kind of small town village or whatever, i want to hear about growing up in the experiences you've had and what you feel might be different now.
Especially with trump and the eu refferendum there's been more of this focus since then on "forgotten people" well forgotten white people the jobs that aren't there the kids who have fuck all to do but listening to middling indie bands/pop punk and shoot up skag and drink scrumpy jack in the park the anger they have at city dwellers like myself who feel like their constantly condescended to(and like wise some of the people who did a full 180 and bought into the rhetoric put out by reactionary forces), people leaving from those towns to gentrify cities and then look back in horror when their towns vote conservative. Kids putting their energy into stuff like donk or trying to be Aitch cause if not they'd be doing home invations i want to get deep inna dis.
and like i've brought up before the fact that no matter how bad it gets. I want to hear about all of it because as a black man living in London the english suburbs may aswell be Mars for all i fucking care cause things that were taken deeply seriously there i looked at as cornball shit (e.g. Marilyn Manson) @shakahislop 's little story in the dancehall thread about why Jamrock is better than rural Berkshire inspired this and i want to understand why this shame why this embarassment, the fact that there's no middle ground between either burying it 20 feet deep or looking like a charicature of some small town oik.
