have you wankers done/allowed to happen to my beloved Toronto scene?

Bottle service, bad attempts @ high fashion, more popped collars than Jersey.

What happened to balls to the wall fun and all the characters?

Bring back 1999-2004 dammit.

The 'balls to the wall' phrase hasnt been used since 2004 either.

I'm just old skool.

Lamenting the designer labels and plasticity of the current scene.

It used to be part of it, but like a virus it's pretty much the entire scene now.

There used to be a fun-house/carnivale vibe with a bit of innocence and lots of creativity.

A weekend in this city was an adventure.

Now it's like Vegas Jr. (vapid and empty)

sometimes im glad my prime is behind me. i wouldnt want to be part of this scene, too much for me.

the music and EDM was way better 2 years and beyond than it is now. although is still like going out, it is only big djs, boat cruises + summer jams for me.

you sound like an ugly bastard who wouldn't survive the new scene.

I am too, I had my fill and then some.

I've been out west in Alberta for 3 yrs where there was just nothing.

Recently got out in Toronto, and it was more Zoolander walk off than a bunch of people dancing and having fun.

Still fightin the good fight. You still a breaks monster?

I guess the current scene is the result of the Brittany Spears/Spice Girls generation growing up & running amok.

Just doesn't have that same inclusive vibe, but it's a decent reflection of the Paris Hilton society.

Like the difference between partying @ System or going across the street to Plastique.

Sorry if I got the name wrong, just thought you were that awesome guy that took photos of epic parties.
