Ok folks, serious discussion here.

Someone mentioned that most of the people on here are old metal heads who've been around for a long time. It got me self conscious about my increasing grey hairs, the world, and the local scene.

This site was an essential glue of the metal and hardcore scenes for a long time. All shows were found out through here. Bands met members through here. People bought/sold/traded gear through here.

And then at the end of every show everyone would come on here to shit talk each other.

And the random band name generator. What glory.

But now to find shows and discuss them before and after people seem to use Facebook event pages primarily. The pictures are on both Facebook and Instagram. I am not sure where other people meet band mates or trade gear these days.

But Facebook has taken a lot of the market away from here.

So when did this happen? 2010? 2012? I feel like it was sometime around then when I started using Facebook event pages to find out about shows regularly. Possibly earlier.

How has this changed the scene?

What can we do about it?
