Being a Rocker in a conservative area
How many of you grew up in a conservative, or rural, area and wanted to be Rockers? Did the people around you give pushback? Did you experience discrimination? Ever get into a scuffle?

That's a good point about the present situation. Rock isn't considered rebellious today.

Re: Being a Rocker in a conservative area
I got more pushback from the liberal people in my life. My father was a hard core liberal. He was by far the loudest voice against me liking rock and metal.Rocker4Real wrote: ↑Sun Aug 24, 2025 6:01 am How many of you grew up in a conservative, or rural, area and wanted to be Rockers?

Oh yeah. They said I’d never make it. That nothing good would ever happen to me. And they were right.

Re: Being a Rocker in a conservative area
When rock was good it was about excellence - not slovenliness like the left of today.
Japan is conservative.

Re: Being a Rocker in a conservative area
I can't speak for the scene in Japan. I did not follow it back in the day. What are some examples of excellence in Rock from your perspective?DangerZone wrote: ↑Sun Aug 24, 2025 12:14 pm When rock was good it was about excellence - not slovenliness like the left of today.
