I enjoyed this until the last paragraph, when I got a strong Murray Gell-Mann amnesia effect (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2011/08/the-murray-gell-mann-amnesia-effect/ http://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2011/08/the-murray-ge...). I was more than a casual part of the scene. The following might have been an attempt at humor, but is revisionist: "the scene was, among other things, a cesspool of adolescent nihilism, teenage posturing, and crude social Darwinism, teeming with racism, sexism, and homophobia." It had hierarchies. You had to be cool, connected, socislly smart and willing to take risks to succeed. There was lo-resolution porn. There was overlap with phone phreaks and some people who stole phone cards. Most just used the mail or person-to-person. The scene was actually bursting with creativity, joy healthy competition and sharing. Cracktros are fundamentally celebratory music. But the SJW junk is made up misandry. Don't believe everything you read.
