Scum of the Surf is about our direct ideological opposition to the upper class/capitalist/authoritarian figures in our education system, government and business.
It's Us vs Them and really pointing out the differences and how we will never fit in with that crowd.
Them being both the people in high positions of authority that exhibit problematic behaviour(s) (eg pedophiles, sociopaths) that in their field of work, makes them gigantic hypocrites. And also, the people who are complicit in their actions because they enable that behaviour.
And Us being a crew of socially aware, non conformist, all inclusive, surfer punks that care about our future. We don't care about that shit, we care about the underdogs, the victims, the broken and the brave. We live for experiences and things that money can't buy, that is why we are Scum of the Surf.
