What role does pretension play in the scene?
It could be said that there’s sometimes a pecking order, much the same as in any group (think of the social scene inherent in small towns or church groups and you’ve got the picture). Some of the people who are considered high in the echelons are really quite tedious and narrow-minded (some are not); some who are considered low in the ranks can often become the best of best friends can be (while others are uncouth creeps). Don’t think in terms of the so-called pecking order, treat people the way you’d like to be treated yourself; it’s the only way to be. Watch Muriel’s Wedding and learn. Never give up your self-respect for so-called friends and enjoy the ride :).
