And you're trying so hard to prove you're not that it just makes it feel more like you are. Your mini-review was just shitty and try-hard was all.

Heh, can't stop being polemic. Can't stop showing my opinion on things, I don't go to bed early either, but if you all think like Connan O'Brien so much then please proceed, but all I said was because I hate that kind of people who talk shit on the internet about other people and actually turn out to be some pussies. People if you don't like my review, it's okay, because one thing I can't stand is indiference. But when you start judging people basing on tiny details just to find a flaw, that is as low as you can get. That's not a very punk thing to do, man.

Quote ahead, say what you wanna say.

Guess no one told him punk died a long, long time ago, at least the movement and lifestyle. Why? Well it killed itself pretty much. You can't affect any social change with the music or message when your whole m.o. is to be insular and shun outsiders. The music is still there, albeit a bastardized, commercialized version of it with a handful of truly important bands that are more or less retiring by now

Spent a lot of the day being sick as fuck and replacing all my "desert island" records with lossless versions, this record being one of them. Sounds so amazing

Punk is not dead, I went to Camden Street in London, which is just punk-tastic (everyone is going to criticise me for that one, anyway...) and that place is crawling with them-not to mention that it is still a worldwide community. Being a punk doesn't necessairly mean you have to walk around with 20-inch cones on your head, red leggings, 5 meters of chain, one of those leather jackets and talk shit all day long- well, there are people who still keep that style, but punks are everywhere and that visual is nothing but a stereotype. We still keep the same ideals.



I hate to confess but you got a point StrizzMatik-pretty much what we have today is nothing but a spinoff of what used to be genius.

I might be very stubborn, but it is still no reason to say that punk is dead.



Also, when writing my previous comment down, I wasn't aware at the time, but after writing and submitting it, it came to my mind.

But that was the whole point. Punk is not just a music style and didn't start as a music. It was a lifestyle born out of working-class frustration and poverty. All of that still exists but the culture is fucking dead, its corpse still held up by middle-class angsty kids who think their life is hard because mom wouldn't buy them the new iPhone. It's a toothless mockery of its former self. It's completely commercial and an image, not a movement or a statement towards anything that means anything.



Dude, 'punktastic'? Do you realize you come across as being about 12 when you break out those zingers? You're worse than James Hetfield

So the middle-class have a great life and no 'real' frustrations? Wow.



Punk is working-class, but hardcore has always been middle-class really.

True. But it was kinda implied. Admittedly most (and the mainstream) of the scene is like that, but not the rest of it.

Of course the middle class has problems, but they're not poor by the very definition of 'middle-class'. I'd much rather take a live of relative financial security and opportunity for advancement than scraping by in unwashed clothes with no home, wondering where your next meal/fix is going to be like most of the guys who started that whole subculture. Fact is that life is a lot easier today in general compared to how they had it back in the 70's and 80's, especially in the US and UK where poverty is relative to their surroundings compared to say, Africa or Asia and what THEY call poverty. Musically and lyrically it was about confronting societal norms, politics, power, and inequity... whereas now "punk" is a LiveJournal set to fast pop with guitars. It doesn't have any of the passion, anger, attitude, or danger that embodied the whole lifestyle and music. And hardcore is an offshoot of punk anyways, so what exactly makes it middle-class?

Album Rating: 5.0

Metal is an offshoot of punk too. Hardcore is just typically more middle-class *shrug* From what I know of Rollins he was never 'poor'. And yeah, so it's lost its danger but it hasn't lost its passion, anger or attitude. I mean...does this album lack those things? Hardly. And The Sex Pistols were none of those things really.

Metal is an offshoot of punk? Black Sabbath was around before punk even existed.
