[One] sorta wonders, "What's the point?" After all, if great success can be achieved by playing one local show every five weeks while simultaneously obtaining three billion MySpace spins, why burden oneself with all the hard work that goes into being a band that actually gives a shit?

Furthermore, recent studies have shown that functioning solely within a virtual society is far more enjoyable than attending shows and making real live friends in your actual community.

DIY? More like DIY bother. Supporting touring bands is stupid and boring. Don't go to these shows unless you want your face melted by the poisonous atmosphere that exists beyond the four walls of your bedroom.
