Conservative Punk

This whole initiative essentially defies the idea of punk. You cannot set guidelines and principles for punk, since in its core, punk is based around the principle that there are no guidelines or principles. That's how I see it, anyway.

You're right.
 
Aye, Ratty is right.

However, punk is pretty much over. It's no longer what it once was, so y'know, this is acceptable.

I think it's pretty rad, actually, getting kids involved and stuff. The more the merrier.

Punk will never truly die. As long as there are misfits who cannot adhere to rules of our society and instead live by one single rule - that there are no rules - punk will live. Punk isn't a trend like rave or emo - it's a way of life. Unlike simple passing trends, punk isn't something that randomly occurs - its existence is conditioned by society itself. As long as capitalist society exists in its present form, its laws and restrictions will generate deviant behaviour and wanton aspiration to anarchy. All that changes is style and terminology.

That said, I've got one message for you wankers: End fascism! Let anarchy reign! :wink:
 
*Agrees with Ratty and disagrees with Malkavian*

Punk? Over? Where?

It evolved into a slightly different thing than the Sex Pistols. Hell, even in the 80's it was different, and now it's split into two sides. One side, the wankers who listen to Blink and Avril Lavigne, what's hype on MTV and to stuff they give away in Happy Meals at McDonalds. The other side, the so-punk-it-hurts punkers nevah die.

A big revitalizer to the whole US scene was the spreading of more and more Oi-punk bands. The Dropkick Murphys, early NOFX, to name two.

Only one thing, Comrade, Punk isn't the Catholic church, it doesn't stick to dogmas. It isn't a religious cult, it's thinking for yourself.


PS. "Misfits", Comrade?


That said, that site really is hilarious. Yet another attempt to sedate kids with twisting a movement that has become "trendy" into a Weapon Of The System. Tsk. Reminds me of that bitch at the Reagan administration claiming the country had to "stop the plague of punk rock". All they managed to do was invent the "Parental Advisory Content" stickers no-one gives a shit about, anyways.

PUNXNOTDEAD! Oi!

Edit: 'Sides, the FOrmer lead singer of th Misfists was Glenn Danzig, that article is bullshit.

Michale Graves sang for The Misfits in the late 90s early 00s. So technically he is the former lead singer.

Glenn Danzig sucks.
 
Dude, that guy, compared to Danzig and the Misfits is like Chuck Cuevas compared to Tim Cain concerning Fallout.
 
Meh.

I generally don't listen to Punk (save the basics; best, Clash, Pistols, etc......no Ramones). I was a baby of the Grunge generation, but I spend most of my time now listening to classical, as good music is currently non exsistant.
 
Tsk. Go fetch the first 5 Dead Kennedys albums for good Punk music.
 
Fuck the Ramones.

Also, I think The Misfits early stuff kind of sucked. I just can't get into it. When they resurfaced in the late 90s I really got into it. I just liked the 50s melodies and guitar riffing, and Graves' voice kicks ass.

But meh. To each his own.

Well, I wasn't referring to the no-rule rule in a dogmatic sense. It's just something that's inherent to punk, something that defines it.

"Misfits" as in people who can't fit into the flawed and restrictive society.
