How long are you vegan ?
for more than 2 years now.

Why are you vegan ?
I think that is very clear. in the first place there are ethical aspects. it is a wonderful side effect that a vegan diet is also a very enviroment friendly one.

What do you think about „edge breaking“?
I personally have no problem with "edge breaking" because people (and so their ideas do) change. this is a normal thing. if someone has the urge do start drinking alcohol again, FUCK DO THAT. there are no ehtical problems with taking drugs, as long other interests are not violated.

What's your opinion about D.I.Y. ?
THE thing which seperates hardcore/punk from other music genres.
