war or not, lets get something straight
im not trying to stab these people in the back, and these bands very well know my discomfort with breakdowns and scenecore bullshit. in fact its something that's discussed just about every day.
the shocking thing is, a lot of these bands have the same disgust in themselves... but we know its a business. and if you're not playing breakdowns on your tour, you're the weaker / lesser band of the package.
finally, i am mature enough to not like something, but still bring someone's creative vision to an end product... even if it's something i'm not entirely in love with doing.
i still love what i do, even if its a buntch of bands with breakdowns. i know it won't always be this way so i'm not that worried.
