lyrics

--- Piece Of Shit (2020) from Threat By Cassette Vol. 2 (2020)- Galloping Dandruff Records ---

- Words:
Fake Cowardly Abuser....
Must be tough being so fucking elite
Self-made creator, Icon and king
Looking down at the mirror
The truth is you are no different
You hide in plain sight
Hating. Hurting. Destroying
Superior, believer you are beyond reproach
No such thing as an innocent scene
Cool music taste does not stop
A piece of shit
From being a piece of shit
You Manipulate, You Disempower, You Ruin Lives
An abusive man is an abusive man
I don't give a fuck if you are from "the scene"
I will not defend you.

/

- Explanation:
Too many times there have been abusive situations and incidents within the DIY scene where the sense of community and trust is in many cases so strong. This idea that the DIY scene is a league of angels and there are no people that behave in the way that so often gets called out is sadly not true, and meanwhile all the holier-than-thou elitist attitudes continue to almost put people on an almost instant pedestal just because they have a cool record collection, they play in a band or run a cool label etc. The fact is that this horrible fact rots the core of something that otherwise is so positive and inspiring and therefore this song is a bitter reminder that sometimes our heroes and peers let us down and that it's not healthy to assume the average "normal" guy might be prone to abusing others but people in the DIY scene are somehow unlikely to..... this sounds dangerously close to the kind of attitudes that has in other scenarios led to groups being oppressed and assumed unworthy, decadent and immoral purely on an incrowd / outcrowd division basis. Positive discrimination like this can perpetuate harmful behaviour and marginalise / exclude people who wanted to be involved but now have left this behind them as they didn't feel safe.
