Zibabu
Zibabu: AKA the dyslective collective. AKA fluorescent flavor failure. AKA schizo-core. AKA powersquat ska, punk reggae, metal, grunge, rock, bossanova slickness. Yeah yeah, a whole lot of shit. It's 'cause we is part of the tv culture, slowly looking what's happening outside of the box. We're opening up to a whole new world of views and possibilities. It seems to be worse than on tv though... The voyage taken with ideals and political views collides with those of most world leaders. No one is born illegal, they're just filed as such.
