I don't mind the new stuff... if'n they know how to respect the old stuff....
I got some friends from the olden days who think the kids these days don't know shit... but I tell them... "well, shit, the Dead Kennedys aren't playing right now" and "there isn't a Black Flag" and "I don't think that they're expecting to see 999"
Point is, the kids these days, I'm happy as long as they know what the "punk" thing is about.... not the MTV pseudo alternative semi-rebellious thing, but the true 'think for yourself' thing.
So when I hear my friends say "these kids don't know shit" I tell him, "of course they don't have the bands that you worship playing for them, but they're doing the best they can for what they've got"
And that's about it.
Punk's not about scaring people with your mohawk at the local McDonald's.
Punk's in yer head. Thinking for yourself and not letting any bullshit influences seep in.
Sorry for going so astray in these rantings, but I'm blasted.... woo my Girl just shotgunned my lungs out YEEE HARRR
