    Eh maybe it’s just cuz this was a smaller city but there really wasn’t much segregation, bands of wildly different genres would play the same shows. People from both “scenes” and others would show. The lead singer of our biggest street punk band was bonking the bassist for this goth new wave band, nobody really gave a shit if you like indie music you were part of the “scene”. ___

      I'm in a small city as well. But we also have a rediculous musical output for the population. We got pop punk Ramones ripoff bar bands doing their own thing, punks who are all at least crust flavored, we don't really have Casualties looking steet punks at all, varying folk punk types from oogle to softboi, hardcore kids and metal dudes and usually shows are basically just punk with maybe one or two hardcore kid bands or only folk punk and the other punks don't show up. Everyone plays in like 3-5 bands so you can get a show going with very few band members to draw from.

      Essentially most crust punks don't like folk punk and folk punk kids will come out to shows but will never listen to crust in their own time. Aside from that everyone is poor and tend to draw from similar resources like different animals at the same watering hole.
