Wearing clothes that are comfortable for you, is the epitome of underground. is fz THE U DERGROUND During the year more and more people got into what is called the underground scene. This is a scene in which the music is not usually played on top forty radio. The bands and performers are not making their music to make money, they are doing it because their belief in their purpose. In ad- dition people in this scene do not try to dress what is in the latest fashion, but by what they feel comfortable with. This had a lot of appeal to students this year. They did not want to conform to societal pressure, as a result turned to something that inter- ested them more. Music had a major impact, as always, on this turnaround. Whether reggae, hardcore, or just underground or garage music, students just listened to what they wanted to hear. Some did not consider music the primary issue. Some felt that the underground scene was more socially conscious and aware. They were concerned with human and animal rights, and felt that the underground scene was doing something to correct human ignorance on these matters, such as apartheid and worldwide hunger. Still others joined the under- ground scene because they sim- ply could enjoy the freedom that was associated with it. They could do as they pleased without having to worry about what others might have to say about it. This made them happy because they were pleased with them- selves. What made this under- ground scene special here dur- ing the year was the friendliness and openness displayed by everyone. Almost everyone in the scene helped and supported each other and stuck together. They were even friendly to peo- ple not in the scene or only partly into the scene. They helped new- comers learn about what bands are about and their beliefs and principles. This year marked a huge growth in the development in the underground scene. by Rob Nelson Bobby Reed sports a flannel and buzz. The crew gathers for lunch. 117
