punk
-------------------------------------

we do not need indie, we need punk rock. we do not need emo, we need punk rock. we do not need hardcore, we need punk rock. we do not need lo-fi, we need punk rock. we do not need cloud rap, we need punk rock. we do not need thrash, we need punk rock. we do not need post-rock, we need punk rock.

punk rock is the bulldozer that clears the slate of bullshit so creatives can create unimpeded. i dont like "punk rock". in fact, most of it is pretty unlistenable. but there is very little modern, urban, art music or culture that i find worthwhile which does not have its roots in punk rock. punk rock is what makes your classmate make music. it is what makes your ex boyfriend go to shows. it is what makes your substitute teacher tell you about his band. it is what makes your autistic kid find friends. it is what creates a community for musicians who arent supposed to be there, and as we slip into this hellworld deeper and deeper, *nobody* is supposed to make music. to make some meaningful noise, we need punk rock.
