How diverse is your scene?

I know people on this forum are from all over the place. Being a part of two very different scenes, I've seen firsthand, the diversity difference between big city, suburban, and smaller city scenes.

I started out going to shows when I lived downstate from Chicago in the midsized city of Peoria. I lived there for less than a year(born raised and currently living in Chicago) Wasn't really into punk(didn't know much atleast). I rode bikes mainly. I met a group of sceney hipster XX kids who also rode bikes, and started going to shows with them. I remember my first show, I had been hit by a car the night before and had 5 stitches in my forehead. I was 16 and I remember moshing hurting so much but being sooo fun(pain was from the stitches hahah).....Those kids were okay...but not really used to being around blacks. Shows were in basements of nice suburban houses all the kids wore clean trendy clothes drove nice cars. I grew up similar with money but just didn't dig their outlook....they weren't political but were really into being 'punk rock. Plus I don't really dig straightedge...especially since they were just trying to be cool. All the bands were really into having nice equipment and having a nice sound but no message. I got back to Chicago as soon as I finished High School hahah.

So I come to Chicago work as a messenger hang in the messenger scene. Very similar to the Peoria Scene white kids from middle of nowhere wanting to be cool. I went to indie rock shows....dug the sound of the music...it was all kind of punk met some black kids.(one of whom is on this forum) But still not much of a message to the music besides hipster shit. Then started hanging out with a friend at work who introduced me to the south side punk scene. He invited me to come to the people of color bike ride and the rest is history. We rode our bikes down to PIlsen a predominately hispanic(but rapidly gentrifying =( ) neighborhood. This was what I had been searching for for the last 1.5 years. That night was life changing for me hahaah. Started dating a girl I met there, (she wasn't black though hahah) started going to shows, started jamming with people I met, and now a year later I'm in 3 bands, booking shows, whole 9 yards (Bear with me folks kinda tired and ranting)  Well now I'll do my best to kind of explain the scene and how diverse it is.

(I wrote this part first so some repeats, whatever you get the drift I wanna finish typping hahaha)

The Chicago Punk Scene (as with alot of the big city scenes) is somewhat diverse. There are a handful of other black people in the scene. I'm the baby of the scene for now. And we have help from the other scenes. We are pretty tight with the gay/lesbian scene, as pretty much everyone in the scene is more or less queer. (Including me) We also get a handful of north side hipster indie rock 'blipster' kids popping up at shows(especially north side ones). I welcome them with open arms as they did me when I graduated from there to the South Side Punk scene. (How many times is this guy gonna say scene lol). The punk scene is smaller and tighter knit than the indie (and to an extent the noise scene). But most of the blacks I see around are at Punk (not "Punk") shows. The kids I see at other shows outside of my scene are generally trendy (don't mean that pejoratively) 'blipster kids' who either are just out having a good time or just getting into the scene. I use the term blipster in a very positive manner because....I look back and its what I came from. They aren't neccesarilly hipsters.....they just dig the indie pop punk kinda sound. We had pretty much all the regulars out at last show hahahah we were all together talking, should have taken a picture hahaha Not going to ramble on any further on the many music scenes in Chicago lol. So I went from the occasional black kid popping up at shows to knowing all the black kids at shows(since there were lots more) and trying to talk to ones I don't know.

Anyway, so how diverse is your scene? Where?
