    Yeah, nah. There was a doco series like 4yrs ago. Ended with Henry Rollins going “everyone sys punk’s dead. It’s not. It’s still out there. It’s playing for a warm beer for each band member at some club. It’s playing some kids basement show” and as much as I don’t always agree with the guy, he’s not wrong… Like, I could rattle off 5 new punk bands to me this year. Could do more if I sat down and went through what I listened to, but those 5 stood out over an onslaught of electronica, metal, indie, etc. If you think the youth of today isn’t just as disaffected as the youth of the 70s, I have a bridge to sell you…

      No one is saying that, they’re probably a lot more disaffected as a whole. That’s not to say they as a group are turning to a 45+ year old subculture to alleviate their disaffection. I could rattle off a few new dixieland acts as well, that doesn’t mean dixieland is currently a living, vibrant art form. There’s always going to be reenactors and there’s nothing wrong with that per se.

        Punk has never been more alive than it is now. Political discord is where it thrives. And if you don’t think the current political climate is discordant… Well… Like, fuck. Yeah, what many would consider modern punk is very far removed from what was made in the 70s. But there’s still kids making that punk and its still being made in general. Just look on Bandcamp, there’s enough new punk every day on there to drown any mortal. But no, it’s easier to be an idiot…

          Nobody’s arguing there isn’t music that calls itself punk being made today. This isn’t going anywhere…have a nice evening.

            You literally are… Thanks for admitting punks not dead and it’s still being created every day and is flipping it’s middle finger at you though. Cos. Fuck. You. And report me, what ever. I found punk decades ago, and people like you just want to split and divide us, never understand us… Mainly cos you’re weak…

              You literally know nothing about me and are insulting a strawman of your own making. I don’t care and you shouldn’t either. Sincerely, have a nice evening.

                I know all I need to know about you. That you are an idiot. And if you didn’t care, why do you keep replying? I care cos you are objectively wrong. But I dunno why you are so set on being so wrong…
