    I am somewhat unfamiliar with the anarcho-punk scene, since i've an anarchist only since about 3 years and been listing to punk for about 2...

    I am 36 years old and was raised in a small town with a very strong rightwinged/christian influence.
    The only "leftist" thing in my life was my fathers union-membership...
    As a 80's kid i was eventualy introduced to the hardcore-house scene (which has a lot fascist influences, even thouygh most gabbers will deny and some DJ's made somewhat leftist songs), so i knew no better than to be rightwinged... (very much ashamed...)

    Only since i was 18 and alowed to vote, i found that the Dutch Socialist Party was the best match for my idea of honesty and equality.

    Long period as a soc-dem...

    I became a father at 26 and as my firstborn grew older i thought more and more about the questionable morale and actions of the world.
    Eventualy my feelings (and anger) became unbearable and at one point i joined RevLeft, believing to be a Communist.

    Talked to a lot of people there, read even more and eventually i realised i am an anarchist.


    So far for my political "carriere".

    Musically i was very limited until my 20's (almost only hardcore-house with one Radiohead album and one Marilyn Manson album).
    It was then that downloading music for free became familiar to me (because of very little money for descent internet).

    Now i listen to almost everything.
    And i mean everything (classical, house, D'nB, HipHop and of course Punk).
    The only music i can't stand is (most) Country-music and "Piraten"-music (a Dutch folky music mostly played on pirate-stations/illigal radiostations; pretty dumb, unintelligent shit imo).

    So that's me. Hi!

    Also, forgive me for not (yet) knowing (the Dutch) Antidote...
