SCENE & FRIENDSHIP ]-------------------- by Def klf of Mad Vision Most scrollers,contain greetings.They should show friendsip between ST users, but they don't ! The greetings are just a reflection of our scene. Something where having "relations" with somebody is just a quest to recognition, admira- tion or any other profits. Of course people also greet friends , but most of the time we are proud to greet wellknown bands to show we know them,but also hoping that those famous bands will greet you later.Being gree- ted by TLB,or the Reps show to the rest that you are now taking part in the elite of the scene. But that's not all.Even within a band friendship often is an illusion.Most of us don't really know all the members of their band !! The founders of a band choose the members because they know people are able to do good things , and not because they are cool dudes.Members of a group are often just a name,a nick name and rare & short phone calls. [ This friendless is shown by the [letters we receive. [ " Yo boy ! [ Thanks 4 your stuff ! ! ! [ Here are cool disks,SPREAD IT !!! [ Answer quickly ! [ bye [ XXXX " They are short,everytime the same,and boring !! Don't you prefer to swap with a friend that send you long letters with interesting facts instead of an uninteresting & short letter even if he is a member of a so called elite-group? Don't you prefer to be greeted by people for the quality of your produc- tions, or by a friend instead of some- body expecting to be greeted by you,due to his "pseudo-friendly greetings" ? You make the scene ... ? So,behave like a cool dude and not like an arrogant climber.
