For all you punk rockers out there....wait..there are none...
I haven't had a real update in a while. Here's some nonsensical stuff that bothers me
So, I was in a really bad mood before and what I'm going to say sounded a lot better then, but yeah...here goes:
I am going to sound like a huge bitch to all you "hXc" kiddos and whatnot, but there is NO SUCH THING AS PUNK. At one time in this world, yes there was. There was punk rock music, punk rockers, and just I guess you could say a punk lifestyle. But no longer is there anything truly "punk." And I mean, who am I to say that I know what punk is? But really, anyone reading this who thinks that you/they are punk, you are not. A punk rocker does not live at home. This sounds horrible, but if you think about it, it is completely true, but a punk rocker does not live in a town. A punk does not own a cellular phone. A punk does not go to a catholic school or they don't even go to school at all. A punk does not try to look punk. A punk is an exinct animal, my comrades. Anyone who truly thinks that they are a true punk in this day and age is just an emo kid in denial. And yeah, yeah, I've heard it from everyone I've ever said this to "I'm not emo...you're only emo if you call yourself emo" I even used to say that. But really, YOU ARE ALL EMO. I used to try to be all PUNK RAWKAHHHHH but really, it's silly. I am a little girl who lives at home with the comfort of her family. I am in no way punk. Niether are you. Any one of you. What is "hardcore" or "punk" to you is just a crying, black eyeliner wearing, cutting, short hair on girls/long hair on boys, two-stepping, tight jean wearing sack of shit. Or a sack of emotions, whatever tickles your fancy. Punk is not heavy makeup on girls-or boys. Punk is not short hair on girls and long hair on guys. It is not being a vegetarian. It is not no sex, no booze, no drugs. Punk is not getting money from your mom so you can go to some shows to show off your new moves and earn "scene points." Punk is not cutting yourself. It is not being vegan. Punk is not you. It is not me. It is only truly found in anyone oh....35+ . We can not be and never will be punk.
And mosh pits at shows I go to? Please, you guys wouldn't know moshing if it slapped you in the face with that silly scarf you wore to that last screamo show. MOSH means MARCH OF SKIN HEADS. Not silly little kids running around in a circle while screaming their lungs out to "you got your gun to my head" while making a fake gun with their hand, holding it up to their temple, and two-stepping across the pit. I would pay to see any of you in a real mosh pit. Go to metal fest, go to gwar, go play in that "pit." No one is going to let you just sashay your way across the floor while you bat your heavily masara-ed eyelashes at some boy in his little sister's pants.
No music today is actual punk rock. We may have "pop punk" but really, that is just code for catchy, somewhat upbeat rock music. "Punk" today is just harder pop punk. The only real punk, if that, music today is the casualties. And now I'm sure my badass punk rockers reading this are getting mad and saying "No, evergreen terrace is punk. Fall out boy is punk. MCR is punk. hellogoodbye is punk." No, anything we listen to is not punk, if it was made after....well, anything recent, or anything that was made while we have been alive is in NO WAY punk rock. Listen to some old shit, some good stuff, there's some punk for you. Go ahead. But really, not one of that bands you listen to nowadays can actaully be called punk. I mean, I listen to a lot of those bands, but I don't think I'm punk anymore. I've heard kids try to say that straylight run is punk. COME ON! I do like straylight run but they are about as punk as oldies 103.3 .
And I hate how you know, if you're punk you have to listen to a certain band, a certain amount of bands, blah blah fucking blah. I don't care how many myspace friends you have that are "underground" bands. I don't care how many cds you burned off of small bands you found on myspace. A "punk rocker" does not "conform" and so if you were truly punk, wouldn't you not be downloading what all the scenesters say is cool? And the whole conforming to not conform? Please, please just shoot me in the eye. Using old "lingo" isn't punk rawk either. "Sweet! Nifty! MadRad! Ubercool!" please, you are a teeny bopper, not a geriatric. I say super. I will admit. I say a few different things, but so do my brothers, who I look up to immensly. I seriously doubt that you got swell or nifty from hearing your grandfather say "Swell! I jsut got an enormous erection! These Viagra pills are pretty nifty!" And if you did, then I sincerely apologize and hope you can someday banish that moment from your memory forever.
Whatever. I don't even know where I'm going with this.
Criticize if you would like. Agree if you would like. But please, my peers, please do not bitch at me because I finally told your wimpy asses that you aren't punk.
