In any relationship/band there is a culture that is formed/developed. And if one doesn’t bond with the culture, it’s a recipe for unsuccessfulness. If we are not fitting in with the culture of the relationship that was created prior to us being a part of it, there is nothing we can do alter it — or our happiness inside of it — while still keeping true to ourself. It is disrespectful to continue to bring up items that are outside of the environment of content within the culture that was developed before us; any preserved opposition from us is a disruption to the members inside of the cultured environment prior to us.
