I was talking more about the kids who wear bandanas and gang shit. Suicidals were the first band (or so I've read) to wear gang street clothing, and not long after the New York guys started copying.... an exception: Al Barille of SSD was wearing sports jerseys from the beginning. |

So the distinction is:
Suicidals were the first to wear gang gear. And SSD were the first to dress up like jocks.
I used to wear my friend's SF 69rs (is that the name of the team?) jacket in 3rd-4th grade. I used to represent.

I finally decided the other day that SSD is not a good band.
...and Suicidal's career material is reaaally pushin it.

SSD would have been good if they'd ended after "The Kids Will Have Their Say" and "Get It Away." Those are undeniable, man!
When it comes to Boston hardcore, though, most of the bands were only good for one or two releases. And the lyrics are usually crappy, but in a way that's so dumb it's acceptable ('cept when they drop "fag" or sing about stalking women).

agreed. SSD should've stopped after Get It Away. But really how can anyone not love the song Glue...like glue like crewwwwww!
THe early Boston scene put out some amazing stuff even though it was a total pile of crap by about 84. But seriously with releases like the Boston Not L.A. comp, Unsafe at Any Speed comp, the first Jerry's Kids LP, the first two FU's LPs (even though they were frustratingly stupid - but that was the point) the two Proleteriat LPs, Negative FX, all that stuff is totally classic.
One exception is the Freeze. THose guys managed to put out two 7"s and the first two LPs that were amazing and then kept putting out decent punk records all the way into the 90's.

i don't know if this thread is still on topic, but
this incident won't make anybody think anything at all about any scene. except maybe a couple parents in that town.
if anything, it helps rap music breathe a little easier.
p.s. since when do sports jerseys put you in a gang?
throwback, nigga!
