Many of the bands that play there used to play Wilson Center and so on back in the heyday of DC hardcore and post hardcore. Much is theatrics. The whole Riot Grrl thing which came out of DC in the late 80's early 90's was what we'd now call SJW music with all kinds of weird anti traditional 'wymin' BS. I've listened to DC HC since I was a young kid. I was saddened to see many members of former DC punk and hardcore bands were friends with JA on his instagram. These dudes aren't stupid, I know they're totally pro DC and all age shows (which is a good thing) but I honestly wondered how some like Brian Baker from Minor Threat, Dag Nasty etc could even be friends with JA on the internet with those fucking pictures. Leaves a huge sour taste in my mouth over my youth idolising hardcore bands from there.

Realizing that almost ALL of our favorite bands have been involved with this leaves a sour taste in all of our mouths, good sir.
