What Is
Punk? Written By Chris
Im sick
of punk rock elitists ripping on pop punk. I too have been
listening to some form of punk for the better part of my
life. Does that make me better than anyone else? Am I cooler
because I used to have a mohawk and was around back in the
day? Does that certify me as a judge of all things punk?
I dont think so. Punk isnt about being elite, that is what
it is against and if you cant see that you have no business
pretending to be part of the scene. Punk is about unity,
community and helping each other out, not about shit talking
bands on a message board because they make music that people
might happen to like. I play in a pop punk band because
it is fun, I enjoy it and I like catchy songs. I guess Im
not punk then eh? Well if thats the case, then you can keep
your elitist scenes because with people like you ruining
whats left of it, I would rather not be a part of it. Grow
up and get over it. Times change and so does music.
