#4Similarly, check out "Barred for Life" https://www.amazon.com/Barred-Life-Iconic-Became-Handshake/d...
about the widely disparate groups of people who sport "The Bars" of Black Flag. (I've got mine next to The Zen Of Python on my arm)

I'm getting close. After 38 years on this earth, money isn't everything, and more of it isn't making me any happier.

Ah , you have many a year on me good sir. Wise words though. i'm just starting on my journey, coming up to 5 years of professional dev work at 1 company. My wife and I definitely connected over our love of punk/alternative musics. There is definitely an 'energy' at these shows that is hard to describe. It is raw and hard to capture on CDs and tapes. backyard/house/underground shows are amazing. The passion, sweat, energy, insanely loud music are all very organic. At most concerts here in the US the crowd is too busy taking a video of the show instead of getting into the music and moving

Well to be clear, 38 years is my age :) But still, yes probably 10 more on you. I'm not referring to just punk concerts, though I grew up in a huge hardcore scene on the east coast. More about just letting go of this lifestyle, and doing something enjoyable for less.

#8Good piece... I feel the underground dance music world has a greater arc of history and continuity to it as it evolves, where punk was more a moment in time that lots of people cherish, and a very specific genre and subculture.
Great book from 99 somewhat in the style of this punk article https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18756.Last_Night_a_DJ_Sa...

Where are you going to shows? This seems pretty regional, and also tied to the size of the venue. The more DIY the space, the crazier the shows in my experience. NYC used to have some utterly insane shows at places like DBA (which unfortunately is no longer with us), and Oakland had some pretty rad DIY venues pre-Ghost-Ship fire (which also unfortunately are slowly getting shut down :().

Boston? That scene was insane in the late 90s.
