  • Ian MacKaye spoke at the Library of Congress on personal digital archiving and the need to educate creators and users in ways to steward our digital cultural heritage. The full speech is on the Library of Congress website. This is the part when he spoke about how skateboarding influenced his ways of thinking early in life.
    Speaker Biography: As both performer and producer, MacKaye has documented music coming out of the Washington, D.C. underground for the past 30 years. MacKaye founded Dischord Records as a teenager in 1980 with partner Jeff Nelson. Their original intent was simply to release a single to document their recently defunct band, The Teen Idles. The label has since gone on to release music from more than 60 bands, with more than 160 albums during the past 25 years. In the process, the label performed a citizen-archivist role, documenting Washington-area music in many forms and catalyzing cultural activity and community-building in the nation's capital and around the world.

      He’s way over analyzing skate boarding lol. Not all skaters are so pretentious. It’s indeed a sport, just a newer one.

      He's right and he's wrong. Ian is a legend. But the thing about Skateboarding is it's a sport like no other. It brings more people together because it's not based on competition.
