haha well i just got done posting a blog and im doing another one. ive said it many times and ill say it again: NO LIFE. but i just saw something that made me very angry, so you know what i do. write about it.
ive written about this before, but ill rant while this is fresh in my mind. there are these small minded self centered people who insist on being assholes and playing up this fake act. maybe they dont realize people see straight through them? maybe they dont see how fake and sketchy they are? if they dont see it they are blind as shit. people who associate goth with emo with punk with rock with skate with all these various 'labels.' such a fourth grade subject, i know. but ill have to rant about it until people cut the shit.
one: fall out boy, good charlotte, simple plan, panic!, and paramore are NOT and in NO way punk or punk rock bands. i mean, the present day AP profile of punk music blends them with Rancid and the even earlier pioneers of the real punk music from the 70's and 80's. and, yeah, Warped Tour calls itself a punk rock tour with bands like the ones i listed, but i wouldnt consider them punk rock. i use punk rock wisely now, unlike in 6th grade when anything i heard with a guitar was punk rock. i would call warped tour and the warped following/crowd/scene a punk community. a lot of the bands, in fact most of the bands now called punk rock were influenced and driven by the actual movement leaders of punk. i mean, i honestly dont know or care about this label shit. i mean, i did a few reports/papers on the history of punk and the punk movement but im in no way a historian. ive read the books and watched the movies, but i know what has been regurgitated to me and thats all. ive read and heard it from Iggy himself. but the question still remains: is it kosher to call the present day punk inspired rock music punk? i say no. the rock media says yes. fuse says yes. AP says yes. MTV says ofcourse.
still, i say no.
so please self proclaimed "emo kid" stop your whining and self pity! stop calling your music punk.
for all i care, stop breathing
