"People" are overrated. Like I don't have to deal with enough assholes already.

--People who don't constantly scan the room for someone more popular while they are half-talking to you. These pathetic types take up space and should be slaughtered on sight.

--Guys who don't wear women's pants. It may be rock'n'roll and all, and looks good with creepers perhaps, but seriously, that shit is disturbing. No whiny hipsters.

--People whose priorities aren't completely out of whack (this is surprisingly rare.)

--People who are stable, and NOT insane, illiterate, emotionally stunted, inconsiderate, unable to think for themselves, habitually poor at making decisions great and small, social-climbing backstabbing sorts, unfathomably stupid...

--People who don't perpetually date assholes and then perpetually complain about them. The only consistent factor in their failed relationships is THEM.

--People who actually don't have a goddamn substance abuse problem; I know there have to be 2 or 3 left out there somewhere.

--People who can have fun without having to be blindingly drunk, people that don't necessarily think "being fucked up" equals "having actual fun", or anyone so hollow they need to substitute their alcoholism or druggie persona for actual personality. No more generic cookie-cutter chaos punks, one-dimensional alcohol-obsessed cliche skinheads or other boring scene morons, thank you.

--People who know when to leave the past in the past. People who live in a forward direction and want to do something with their lives.

--People who don't think hygiene is the enemy and that being dirty makes them more punk rock. "Never trust a crusty."

--No scumbags, no predatory filth, no drug dealing parasites or other lame cunts.

--Who does that leave? Anyone at all?
