But tbh even a lot of the LA street punks in the late '70s and '80s were actually just suburban kids who could go home any time to get a meal and a wash. Only a few of them were actually homeless punks who had to beg to get by and the like, and most of them were in bands and lived in communes and shit.
Originally posted by RobtardI missed out on that side of it luckily, although I think a couple of my friends ended up in places like that somewhere down the line
Did you suck any dicks to scrape by? Cos if not, I question just how hardcore your street punk cred it.
We don't talk about them too much any more, poor bastards
Blame the heroin. I never touched that shit and I'm glad I didn't either, awful stuff

Nah I was just a poser really, thought hanging out and taking drugs was cool. You know what it's like being 17, you suddenly think you're the shit, and then you realise you're just a dumbass kid
I've also lived in a house for homeless people.

I mean I know a blunt knife is still a knife but somehow it spoiled the threatening intentions somewhat
Didn't you almost get knifed
