Blank Stare: Don't Dominate the Rap, Jack
There doesn’t seem to be too great any desire on anyone’s part to start a hardcore band and stick it out for any length of time. We – and the culture at large – have basically made it clear that if your group doesn’t show up, hit it big on the first or second try (whether that means on recordings or on tour), that it’s time to pack it in. In a great many ways, underground music’s become a smaller scale tv or film market. There’s capital set up, and if there’s not the sort of return expected, call it a day.
