Bulls-hit. To destroy interest in the latest blockbusters and celebrity scandals all you need are blockbusters and celebrities.

Aww, rez, now, I'm sorry I earned your undying hatred for disagreeing with your sad tea party politics and idiotic gun-nut stance and actually posted stats to back up my position but, hell, how can I know I crossed a line until I cross it?

Dr_Rez

It has nothing to do with that. It is you as a poster in general. You are like a child trying to use big words he doesnt understand.

Oh, please. I'm 100% certain my vocabulary is a tad more expansive yours. And let's be honest--you became outwardly hostile to me on the gun control thread and not before. Which was funny because I never insulted you, I just pointed out the fallacies in your stance. Nor did I find it necessary to go on other people's threads to badmouth you as you did to me here. I mean, really. That's low, pal, amusing but low.

Which is exactly the problem. It's already been done. I've heard it before--long before. There has to be something else.

He just can't handle the punk today, so he denies it's existence entirely.



But seriously, today's punk is as direct if not more than it's ever been.
Since when does playing punk rock make you punk?

Agreed. There is more inspiration today for it anyways. Rich have gotten richer, big corporations have only gained freedoms and frown larger....etc etc etc...

I listen to quite a few punk bands have the attitude to go with it.

GuD

that's some br00tal **** right there. i was beginning to think they were some weird experimental noise band and was like what the **** is this guy talking about this ain't punk. I like the part I underlined, in a world full of unappreciative spoiled twats it can at times be hard to discern the people who are there because there's nowhere else for them from the people who just want to run away from the suburbs.

So you admit there's punk today huh?

As someone else said--there's too much of it. It's just a retro act though. It's like watching some old doo-wop group at a reunion. Sure, it's great to hear the old songs and nice to know they are still gigging around but it is just not the same. Even the post-punk era is long gone.

Punk needs a new beginning but the West is a cultural wasteland and it can't happen here. My guess is that the Japanese are doing the most innovative work with punk just as they are with jazz and god knows what else. But stick a fork in us over here. We're just one big Detroit.

Mondo Bungle

You start a thread complaining about how there's no punk today, and are now complaining that there's too much.

Come on.

It doesn't make any difference which one I say--no punk or too much--because it isn't real punk. It looks like it, it sounds like it but the due date has expired. It expired long ago. There can't be any real punk today. If there was a true punk mentality today, they wouldn't be doing this stuff. The ground may be hallowed, if you prefer to see it that way, but nevertheless it has already been trodden on and punk was never a genre to walk endlessly in circles.
