Sure music is still popular, but I find that for the 18 to 24 age group, punk is in because nostalgia and old music is in. Seems like internet mining for songs of the past in the new trend. People don't meet up at record stores and alternative cafe's anymore.

Personally I think gaming has surpassed music in terms of popularity with the youths today....I do find that kind of sad.

As for punk, I can't believe people on here still idealize it like some special lifestyle that must be protected. Johnny Rotten is 60 f'n years old. Punk has no relevance anymore, it was a genre for disenfranchised white kids in the 80's, it's dead, get over it!...that is not aimed at you Bob
