I don't care what a band sings about, as long as they have full conviction behind their lyrics. There's nothing cheesier than a band writing half-assed political songs.

I find that politics arises in music when there is a need for it. The whole 80's punk thing happened when there was a dramatic shift from the left to the right in the UK & North America, so there was push back amongst many displaced youths.

I think if we see a continued trend of manufacturing jobs disappearing in North America to the point that you have an army of youths stuck in low paying Starbucks jobs...Your going to have a whole $HITLOAD of politics in music!

I'm not opposed to either of them. That isn't to say I agree with the political ones, or whatever. Because I'm not much on politics at all; But if I dig what it sounds like, I listen to it. I'm not into worshipping Satan either, but many of the metal bands I listen to have those type of lyrics.

And on the other side, I'm perfectly fine with punk rock that doesn't care a bit about politics.

So, if its good, I listen. If not I don't.

Well, anarchy is technically closer to American libertarianism than liberalism. Liberalism in the technical sense is libertarian. I don't know the intimacies of his politics though, so I can't comment on him really, just some of the rhetoric in punk (or i guess cliche punk).
