Punk culture is fuckin dead; has been for a while now.

High school kids trying to live the "punk life" nowadays are a bunch of posers who listen to pop bands like Blink 182 and run around with skateboards cause it's the "cool" thing to do.

The same thing is happening to the Hip Hop culture now; cept hip hop is taking the idea of cashing-in to a whole new level.

Originally posted by butterfly i think some of these kids like the music though from what i understand it was a rebellious movement in the beginning to fight conformity and such. now it seems to be the trend. kinda ironic...

we touched up a bit on that in my sociology class; and thats more or less what it was. A rebellion against conforming; going against what is expected of the youth in those days.

And their fans....you know, kids used to be persecuted by their peers for liking punk. I got made fun of for it all the time my freshman year of college, because while everyone else was blasting Dave Matthews Band and Jay-Z, I was cranking up Pennywise and Agnostic Front. Now it seems that all the cheerleaders, football players and all the popular kids in school are obsessed with New Found Glory and MxPx. To me, this really goes against the foundation of punk, which was embodied by a bare-bones, anti-social "screw you and all your friends" attitude. It just doesn't make sense to me. I honestly doubt 95% of the kids who listen to "punk" these days are as politically aware, issue aware, or active as their predecessors.

punk has been raped to shit by corporate america.

if punk girls and goth girls were actually hot...god Id be on them like a bums feces on a public telephone. I love the alternative side, and dressing differently, its just that most people who do it, do it because they are ugly and have nothing to lose.

The few hotties like hotties in Underworld or something are l33t compared to their normal counterparts. Something about a naked chick with boots up to her ass that makes me drool

Here in Sacramento, there is a fine line ebtween being 'punk' and being a 'stoner'. I, myself, have been both.

In my eyes, punks are all about the music. The concerts, the sharing of CD's, skating, studded belts, wrist gear, the hair especially, etc. etc..

The stoners appear like the punks, but are too stupid/smoked theirselves stupid to truely enjoy punk.

Punk is a lifestyle, a religion if you will. Punk is anti-emo.

And no, Blink 182 is NOT punk anymore. They are pop-emo gay.
