ADJUSTMENT TO SOCIETY // NEW DIRECTION FEST

Adjustment to Society is a band that embodies resistance to modern society in every way shape and form. Lyrical concepts range from dehumanization through modern values, gender politics, gentrification, and resisting modern American cultural norms. Adjustment is extremely critical of modern hardcore and it’s emulation of the capitalist economic system. Almost every member of Adjustment is an organizer in New Direction Fest and have participated in the Occupy Movement, Community Organizing, self-procuring food, and work often to communicate ideas of value by way of zines, music, art, graffiti etc. Everyday life for Adjustment involves wreaking havoc through skateboarding, scams and crime.
