High Resolutionwhere culture comes to die
well
you either do something about it or stop complaining and shut the fuck up
It’s a hopeless case in a backwards little town full of backwards incompetent little people who’ve always hated the idea of change and always will. It’s an absolute laughing stock
What a steaming pile of bullshit. Adelaide is only backwards in the sense of not succumbing to skyline full of high rises. We hardly lack culture. We are saturated with street press. We have more and more projects renewing our fashion and music scenes every year. And our festivals are constantly expanding. We have some of the best live venues in Australia, with some of the most vibrant and prolific scenes within them. If there’s nothing to do, it’s because you aren’t doing anything. This city is teaming with amazing people. Get out and meet some of them
Wow, you know I’d have thought that Adelaide looks kind of backwards considering it looks like it hasn’t really progressed since the 1980’s. It’s a soulless grey mass, it has no edge, it has no vibrancy and it has no life. Street press, you mean those turgid little publications written by mediocre Arts students that no one can be bothered picking up? Oh yeah, those. And yeah, the whole regeneration thing is really evident, what is it, a couple of stores off Hindley Street? And er, I can’t say that I’ve ever been particularly impressed with the whole Adelaide music scene thing and if anything, the Fringe has declined in quality especially after becoming an annual event. Minuscule changes are never going to permeate into the fabric of Adelaide, so what’s the point? Things will stay as they are, like they have been for the last thirty years
Big words from a kid who is still in high school. Aren’t you still 17? Your age hardly gives you an insight to what this music scene is truly like. And what, Melbourne isn’t? It’s just a larger grey mass covered in graff. I wasn’t just talking about the Fringe. The Adelaide Festival has grown and is responsible for bringing bands you like (Black Lips, Ariel Pink) to Adelaide. Every kid with your attitude ends up pissing off to Melbourne, until they realise they can’t get a job and the rent is too high and they come back home and realise this place is kinda great.
