this is kind of stupid. or youthful exuberance. i think i was angry with the concept of business normality, albeit in a teacher-student high school context.
moving forwards into the end of my first month of recording, this noisy catastrophe presents itself as a sort of generic raw punk work through. but, there's a reason why being 15 and angry doesn't get old, i guess. my target of frustration was the idea of business normality as it applies to teenagers, and the shallowness of first impressions, specifically as they were coming from teachers. i was a "gifted student" and well aware of it, and really didn't like it when some glorified babysitter decided to look down his nose at me because he didn't like my haircut.
i like the instrumental section at 1:50, but i mostly interpret this nowadays with a careful chuckle, as an interesting time capsule. but, there will always be kids that get judged badly based on their appearance (because there will always be assholes that will judge them), and maybe one will find this and connect with it.
