What is love?

Love. It's really a word and feeling that most may not fully understand. The idea of love can be, to some people, be like the idea of God. Everyone sees love in a different perspective. For some reason, now the idea of true love can be viewed as a broken dream, and lost hopes. No one has stopped to think about what it really is or means. Love has no boundaries and does not judge. The controversy that the right thing to do is to be in a "normal" relationship, it being a heterosexual relationship. The idea of a same sex relationship has always been a controversial subject, because that's how people have treated it. 

Who ever made it the norm to be in a man/woman relationship? I believe that people should have the right to have their own preferences, as love is blind and has no limits. It is only "weird" to be in a same sex relationship because people have been thought to believe that it is not the right way, and as history shows, human nature does not like things out of the ordinary. The question I have is real simple, and as simple as it is, it needs to be thought of, so people can see things from a different perspective. My question is: Why can't people who have full rights put themselves in the shoes of those being oppressed from being happy, and see that it is not right to have certain people being kept from what they love? 

What if the same sex relationships were considered normal, and an opposite sex relationship was out of the norm? Wouldn't it be either way the same? People can't really see the fact that no matter what anyone's preferences are, they can't be changed, as it is who they are. The society we live in may start to be going in a more "accepting" way, but towards the wrong reasons. Everyone is becoming less and less educated, making it easier for history to repeat instead of changing. They want to be "free", but why are others still being hated? We are becoming more and more of standbys and sometimes many add on to the troubles of those screaming for help.

We are all humans, and no one should deserve to be oppressed from the things they love. Isn't that part of the fact of why we are now diverse? Well, then how come the diversity stop being limited by prejudice and hate?

Change of Times Affect "Anarchists"

As we all see around everyone is trying so hard to not fit in, except the harder they try the more insecure they become and begin to dress like the rest. It may be "fashion" but in reality it's just another way for you to fit in :D. 

Goths seem to not be as common, but by not common I mean those who follow the old looks and interests that would consider them as Goths. Those that consider themselves Goths now a days are really nothing near to looking the same as the ones before, but really, why must there be a standard set on how to look?


Next on this list of "Hardcore Anarchists" are your so called hippies. It's hard to really tell who are your hippies now a days, especially since everyone thinks hippies are just pot-smoking-spiritual people. Well, to a point those things may be true, but I believe they also are in the list of Anarchists, because they always protested against the oppressor. Your so called "Hipsters" dress like the Hippies used to, but then again, most of these genres and labels have been affected by the "vintage look". It's always about fashion now a days. 

What about the Grunge genre? Well, they generally have the "I could care less attitude". Many consider it being trashy, but only because they are blinded by the fact of needing to look like you care about your appearance. If you look at the way of dress, Grunge of today's time, looks fashionable and like they took time to look like they could care less, but in a fashionable way at all times. Surely these "total anarchists" don't care. Ha! This shows the BIG difference of our generation being all about anarchy.


Oh and last but not least, Punk genre does not fall behind in change of scenes. It's sad that real punks are falling behind. These so called "punks" are also all about anarchy and what not, yet they say but don't act. The new punks always talk about anarchy and going against the man, yet what do they do? They go out and buy expensive clothing lines. By doing this, you know what they're doing?.. Well, THEY'RE FEEDING THE MAN! True meaning of anarchy is not only to stand out, but also to stand up and do something about the corruption. Just because you buy expensive hair products to dye your hair or fancy "punk clothing" does not make you a punk anarchist. Yet, this idea has become the the main part of the new punk scene. 

Sad to see that the fellow Anarchists' ideas are being lost to the new ideas of fashion. If you look at all of the pictures of each genre from before, you will see there were things that set them apart from one another. Look at all the genres and scenes of today's time and what do you see?.. The only thing I see is conformity of fashion. These genres have become a mere sense of fashion then being a way of expression. There are many similarities throughout the scenes of our generation, which shows the true CHANGE of times.
