I think this relates to every kid in the UK.

Go here to listen to the track http://www.purevolume.com/arcticmonkeys

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell em if you like
We'll tell em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

I said no
Oh no!
Oh you won't get me to go!
Anywhere, said anywhere
I won't go
Oh no no!

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah they might overstep the line
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
Not in the same way
Not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no

There was no mention of weed, blowing shit up, or fucking around with cars or shit at the skatepark.

Non of that related to my town, probably an american thing.

Have you noticed a change in homegrown (on this board) this past year?

Regarding the fiming of pranks, crime and vandalism.

People are starting to include these more and more into there clips, and don't feel abliged to put in some "bush jumps" or other stunts, and I think its awsome.

When I first joined here the only really standout people doing it well was weak sister. But now more groups are taking it on.... Team Knowhere, Allballs, Delayed Reaction (there are a few more)

I don't really care about the skits scene so lets leave that for another thread (Boner Jones)

I know quite a few people here dont like it (j0nes, danG, webby, etc)

But yeah what do you guys think.....?
