All that made me want to do though was find other punk bands, and it doesn't take a whole lot of searching to find bands like The Misfits, Agent Orange, The Ramones etc. Radio and TV have never really pushed the cooler punk bands but it's not like they're totally hidden. I dunno, I guess for most people it IS a fashion statement or a phase, but it's always bugged me.

What you and i think is cool is different than what the media thinks..... its no longer simply just the music but a package deal.... which leads me to your statement of fashion or a phrase, which is influnced by these package bands..... its fucking with the music produced in todays punk world
