i mean yeah this is gonna get deleted for sure because punk is no longer an ideology about doing it yourself and bucking the system. punk scenes have become waiting rooms for people who won't take a bath and won't move out of the town they grew up in and is positively full up of queer babies who need validation and are politely asking for you to not call the quarter-inches "male and female" as they sing about how they don't give a fuck about anything and want the world to burn. it's a fucking sad scene.

Hilarious and well said. Punk was great for many years but that’s all over now. For what it’s worth though I don’t think it was ever actually about wanting to watch the world burn for a lot of people; as it turns out a lot of them just wanted to burn down this particular world so that they personally could be the oppressors.
