Steve Aoki

You're like the barrier of entry to be that kid is actually right there.

Exactly.

That's why I love punk.

Cause then I was like, I don't know how to sing.

I don't know how to play any instruments.

My friends that we were going, we're like, we don't know.

Let's just figure it out.

We know a guy knows how to play drums.

That's the most important guy you need.

Cause that's the most technically skilled thing that you need to have as a drummer that knows how to keep a beat.

time yeah yeah and we found a drummer and hey we'll bring him to the shows and get him inspired i'm like can we try to do this in your garage yeah and he lived up the street for me and then i would just go there after school every day and practice and learn how to play bass guitar drums and i was like singing i didn't know how to sing i was like we're just fucking around that was the start of my music journey and it's like this rough and tumble like you could just show up you

Yeah, yeah.

Wake up out of bed and whatever and then just do it.

That's the cool thing.

To care would be uncool.

It's such a great entry point for creativity.

It allows you to feel like you can become something.

And then when I did that with my friends, we were like,

messing around then we're like playing in living rooms which was a start then everything opened up this idea like anything i could do at all whatever is exciting to me then we started writing in a zine we go with my friends the kinkos making a little poetry and cutting up a little fun like you know ransom note letters and making poetry out of making zines and passing out to friends and still treating t-shirts like everything was like oh this is all doable we could actually make a business doing that kind of stuff

Sorry, what's a zine?
