H2O What Happened

Back


H20, go! Youth crew lives on with their new video, 'What Happened,' fourteen years after their formation. The clip kicks off with Michael Rappaport asking the same question the song's title inquires, and then comes to life with a montage of downtown NYC scenes with guest appearances from Lou of it All in a barber's chair and Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio paying homage to the East Village's Joe Strummer mural. The guys remind us that they still have 'Nothing to Prove' as they dig their influences out of record bins, flaunting a vinyl reissue of the almighty 'Start Today' album.

lyrics

When it began, for those who don't know
It didn't matter how you looked or what you wore to a show
Dress codes, FUCK NO! we didn't care
About the brand of your jeans and all that shit in your hair

But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
Fashion before passion!
And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What the reason for screaming?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened the music and the message that I love?

And I know, that people chance
And we go through different stages in life
And I'm not here to criticize
But the reason I scream, is a feeling inside

But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
Fashion before passion!
And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What the reason for screaming?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
h2o - What Happened?
lyrics from
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened the music and the message that I love?

Lost (1, 2, 3, 4) lifetime ago it seems
You gave up on your wildest dreams
But I refuse to let mine go
I took an oath, you can find me here
With an open heart and ears
Refusing to surrender
I can't believe they don't remember
What it feels like to be young

What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What the reason for screaming?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened the music and the message that I love?

"It didn't matter how you dressed or what you wore to a show"

Its about the music and the passion of hardcore and punk rock.

skinny jeans and mascara = fashion

trying to impress people at a show because of how you dress = what this song is about

theyre not dissing people wearing the clothes, theyre dissing the fuckheads that mess up hardcore scenes by being conformist with their fashions

wrong.
theres nothing wrong with conforming,
we're not 12. it's when fashion precedes substance, that's the problem.

theyre just saying how people care more about their image, than the music they create.
