The "scene" here in Western New York is dead and sucks. Its mostly a huge hardcore scene, but most of those people are straight edge elitist assholes or just assholes. The scene here is very clique-ish, but thats probably everywhere. Anyways, we get some good shows from time to time, but its dead, the local music sucks too for bands in grind, pv, or even punk. I wish more bands would come through here though while im still here.
P.S., it sucks here, did i mention that?
That's kind of how the scene is/was in the Albany area of NY. very clique-y. for a while bands just stopped coming. (A) // (E)

orange county may have been the home to The Middle Class, but it has been dead here for some time, and the nazi punks like to eat the carrion.
once in a while we get old school bands like DRI who put on shitty overpriced shows. the young punks love to start 80's hardcore revival bands to the point where i want to slit my wrists. alot of ska shows here too....they're aight, it just kinda got killed for me. and of course we have the HUGE scene of straight edge conservative christians wearing champion sports clothes and picking up change (well, that's what their dancing looks like to me). the screamo/skramz scene is decent because it's decent in LA. whatever is cool in LA is cool in OC, and whatever is cool in San Fran. is cool in LA. god i fucking hate California sometimes....i mean there's punk here, but it's either shitty SXE or shit like Franki Doll and D.I. shows with the 40 year old plus punk rock elite....orange county is my baby and i want to kill it

oh god, you broke my heart... maximum apocalyptic overkill drama like when I found out that Siegi Hammer, former singer/guitarrist of munich's legendary Marionetz and responsible for my completely messed up youth as a kid punk looking for a hero way back in the early eighties - is now a "somehow or other" christian hermit, wearing a monk's habit and asking passerby's for small change - but I guess he hardly would notice it if someone would deliver him from his misery... huh!

he surely is... i met this legendary hero of my mates here some days ago while giving out food not bombs, i didn't knew about his famous past, we talked about punk a bit and i invited him to visit us - he was in a very desolate state and i just had pity for him. as he showed up a few days later, ol'gobbledigooks nearly freaked out - first out of joy, but quickly... i think he was kind of traumatisized... i doubt his life will never be the same again... Siegi Hammer and the Marionetz rose quite a bit in the early eighties, they were outstanding for the time - bavaria was always a somehow provincial backyard of everything else and hard to awake - but instead to continue with what they were up to, they started going for success - bang, end of career, they were almost forgotten until now. during this nirvana Siegi Hammer took every avaliable drug within his reach in every avaliable/unbelievable amount, and i guess he payed the price for that - he now claims to communicate on a regular basis with jesus and was saved because of this - and now gobbles heart is broken... poor boys... the scene here is really not sooooo bad, a bit young, a bit without orientation and yes, quite a bit without places to go to, except for the official venues presenting the annual "elite punk shows". we have a number of bands, two of them completely female membered, but no adequate performance opportunities for them, some of the veterans try hard to organize more or less commercial shows - and fail miserably because the financial risks, it's just too fucking serious to work. maybe we should just do something about that, but with those broken hearts bleeding...  sluts of the world unite!!! - butcher "Eat me", the poisoned apple said, "and I will forego any further retribution..."

@ lil' apple....yeah i know the pain of losing childhood heroes of the various punk scenes. here in the orange curtain it happens almost daily....people and bands switch to nazism via the Aryan Brotherhood or PEN1 and bands sell out to more lucrative paying shows....or bands support the christian conservative nature of this area....all the while the anarcho/crust/grind and folk punk scenes which are basically holding the candle of new punk get put out or just stop playing shows around my area. Phobia is a good example...they haven't played a show here in years because of all the bullshit.
so much drama in the OC it's hard to be a D O double G

Here in the Compton/Long Beach/East LA Scene you have absolutely everything BUT Anarcho/Crust. The hardcore punk scene, is JUST getting by, with youth crew types and good old-school. The Street punk scene, in my opinion sucks, every single frontman has the EXACT outfit/hair/stage demeanor that The Casualties frontman has. There's a pretty good latino Ska scene, and a MASSIVE psychobilly and thrash metal scene. Not one Anarcho or Crust band, except possibly my band, that's just developing.
But the one thing I absolutely HATE is how much bullshit, the punk bands' lyrics are. What with the "Oi! Oi! Oi!, Lets get drunk off 40oz.'s and break shit!" The punk scene has some of the most close and absent minded, more-punker-than-thou-poseurs-who-fail-at-everything-they-try, violent, drunk shits.

Well, never seen this side of my scene..  I'm in the Paramount area, so most of the shows i go to are in east Compton or north LB, I never see flyers or are invited too anarcho shows, unless it's Steve Ignorant at the Pomona.. No And I've heard some Resist and Exist, not too big a fan

My Highschool in a rich, white suburb in Minnesota has one punk-ish guy. I call him that because he has nothing to do with Anarchy and his favorite bands are Green Day and Sex Pistols. For myself, I'm apart of the dying Metal scene that is infested with Emo and Scene kids. Its the same thing thats happening with Metal.
Armageddon won't be brought by gods, but men who think they are.
