Turnstile seem to be opening up doors for this particular subculture the way Nirvana did for theirs, but based on this interview, I think Turnstile's in a much healthier place than that band was when they blew up. Thinking back to Tuesday's essay, I see parallels - because those early bands (and people) were hard, they made space for the people who came after them to be themselves.

And I think part of what makes a hardcore kid a hardcore kid is earnestness - hardcore doesn't really seem like a place for irony and sarcasm. It's important to believe and to try.

Love this! My fondness for Brandon and thr band has only been elevated (even if he left you hanging on the video question)
