QuoVadisHomines comments on I Even Gave My Life To Jesus In Their Parking Lot

It’s all the kitschy stuff that gave it a sense if self and without that it’s a crappy chain diner.

IDK if anyone should be apoplectic over this but I get why some feel a loss due to this change.

I guess it's even weirder for me because this is the only kind of group that would complain about something like this with all of the people in the scene going crazy over it. If Hot-topic changed it's store appearance, I wouldn't expect to see NOFX coming out making statements. Some people might gripe for nostalgia but they're still selling the same shit and the corporate stores were never the actual true spirit of the scene.

I think some people look at their local chain diner the way some look at their local mom and pop restaurant and have nostalgic ties to that time/place. Not everyone lives in God’s Land, New Jersey, and has a plethora of actual diners to go to.

Suppose that could be the case. I live in an area which still has some mom and pop places (or at least are locally owned and operated) but that's being shortsighted in regards to the rest of the American states as I've traveled less in my older years.

Im obviously in God'sLand and have many local diners to choose from. As a kid in high school in the 90 my area larger cliques of kids formed based around which diner and 7-11 you hung out at.
