I think if you take out the mod-specific references, Maria just described
every scene out there....I have wide tastes in music and am on several
mailing lists and keep track of different scenes on usenet, etc.....and the
same topics come up over and over again: elitism in "the scene" (whethere
it's goth, emo, indie, mod, punk, <insert scene here>).....and then
discussions over whether a particular band/look/person is
goth/emo/indie/mod/punk/whatever ....... scenes are boring!
Eternally,
