the singer of fall out boy used to have dreads and be apart of the chicago hardcore scene. i heard he's still straight edge, but i could be wrong. plus, i don't really care.

what is the chicago hardcore scene?

just like any other big city hardcore scene. full of horny straight edge guys and girls who listen to hardcore and like to mosh and sing along to straight edge songs. i don't know much about the scene anymore, but chicago had a pretty big scene being victory records was located there (back when victory released hardcore records).

ok let's see..

i used to have that animal liberation earth crisis shirt dude trying to get on stage is wearing.

are earth crisis worth listening to? i keep hearing about them

You do? I didn't realize it was still 1996.

Ba-Zing! I still got it folks!

i know them from a guy who got a tatoo of that band all over his face or something.

no.

haha, really??

you never seen the pictures? it's bad.

i've been thinking that any hardcore after the black flag, negative approach, mdc, etc era sucks.

youth crew hardcore has it's moments, especialy gorilla biscuits. not to sound like a snob, but if you weren't around for the hardcore of the mid to late 90's then don't bother with it. it hasn't aged well at all.
