This article's contents are not referring to the true punks back in the day, it's referring to the idiots today who think dressing bizarre and listening to blink 182 is punk. Why are punks idiots? They dress stupid: They do this for attention, even though they claim they don't care what... <a href="http://revulsion.net/articles/69/">Click here to read more..</a> |

I SAID SO and by now you should know that i'm always right!*(quote)
What a knob! 'because I said so,'. This line has allways proven a vast expansive point throughout history. Though it is true that what most considur to be 'punk' nowdays are indeed just suburban youth 'trying' to lash out against athority are mainly just kids from the suburbs trying to fit in. But, you failed to mention the real ones, some people are still punk you know, Ive met a few myself. There even happens to be scenes across the world were the 'punk' life stile still thrives.
Take a look at the label itself. 'PUNK' is indeed a term used to describe what is also a bitch (did that get censored?, ok, B-I-T-C-H, there did that work?). So back in the day when the term was first being coined I think it was adopted rather as a way to say F-you. I think it was more sarcasm, like "Oh, yah I'm a punk?", well fuck you, maybe I am, now what are you gonna do about it. And beleive it or not these people still exsist.
Hell even some of the more popular 'punk' bands could be taken under this consideration. I'm not talking blink 182 here, but you catch the drift. Sure todays 'punks' are many a teeny bopper (ie. avril lavine [pssst, not a punk]). But don't piss on the true punks that are still out there. I'm sure the true hardcores are pissed about being rpresented by the media in this fashion, but then again the true hardcores don't really give shit do they? These are the real punks. The ones who stayed true to what they beleive in. I mean back in the day they fought against the jocks and preps because they were ostrisized by them. Now they are tying to take theire culture and candy coat it. I guess it's just the new fight for the real punks. There will allways be punks. just like any other underground scene, it's just a matter of time before the media shines it's I towards another group. I guess all Im trying to say is that, dont condem the real ones just cause theres a bunch of look alikes around.
And, no I am not 'punk', just trying to make a point on others behalf.

I'm a dedicated punk rock kid. And yes I'm more than a little peeved by all of the Blink-182 clones representing the scene with little more than trendy songs with meaningless lyrics.
There are still true punks out there. True individuals that seek their own roads. Keep your head up. You can always spot the true ones lurking around, we're the ones not 'in uniform'.

Old fart that I am, whenever I hear the term "punk," I think of Sid Vicious (males), or Wendy O. Williams (females). And those two were inspired by Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Nico!! Today's "punks" are 4th generation, at best - and they're too fragmented (goth, grunge, retro-preppie, sex kitten / stud, etc). The original punks were anti-everything; today's breed are just another "style cult" with an "attitude."  |
