![]() You know what I find to be quite bothersome. The so called "punk" kids. You know the type. I'm not talking about the guys who are anarchists and know the difference between Crass and Slipknot. I'm talking of the people who are the opposite of this. The kids of think rebellion is smoking pot, there favorite band is linkin park, they don't know the difference between punk and metal, there favorite store is hot topic and they go around wearing anarchy memorabilia and they say that they are punks. Unfortunately, this kids roam the hallways in our schools and totally bring down the whole scene. To them anarchy is throwing toilet paper at innocent peoples houses, and picking fights. Little do they know most REAL anarchists are about peace, they are pacifists rather than violent people who go around vandalizing property. So where do this kids come off saying that they are "punk?" I think it's all tied in with the mainstreaming of so called punk rock. Blink 182, Sum 41, etc... I personally do not consider these bands anything more than pop rock rather than punk. I've even heard of people calling Korn a punk band! It's really sad, I often times refer to these kids as MTV Corporate Punks (aka Posers). This is what MTV has done to our beloved music through mainstream television it has potrayed punk rock to the un-educated youth of America in this whiny pop bratty kid kind of way. I truly hate it. For this reason I never call myself a "punk" because then people jump on you with stereotypes, and call you a poser. But forever I will continue to listen to the music which I've grown up loving and no matter how many Sum 41's there is I know that there will always be REAL punk rockers who hold true to the scene. If you happen to be one of those Linkin Park, pot smoking, anarchy clothing wearing, hot topic shopping, alternative rock radio listening modern day punks, stop for a second and learn what punk rock really is about and you'll discover how big of a goof ball you are.
