The Essence of Punk Rock

In my eyes, Punk is the ANTI-Genre, or ANTI-Trend if u will… It started with the Ramones and Sex Pistols… until then, bands were generally the same when it came to the apparel… These 2 bands broke the trend and dressed up like bad-asses… Punk was born Punk lost it’s direction when people started considering it a Genre that had certain criteria… Punk is not a trend… it’s NOT conforming to a sound… Nirvana was punk because during the reign of the hair-metal bands he decided not to go with the trend… Punk will rise again… Just look at what’s on the radio and MTV now… It’s a bunch of trendy little whiners that focus more on their IMAGE than writing compelling music… even their music writing is becoming too fucking trendy… if i hear one more “three days grace” sounding vocalist i’m going to shoot myself… same goes with the tween bands that wear more make-up than my sister… we’re just repeating the 80’s with all this glam-rock… soon a band will rise and they won’t need the make-up to attract fans… their music will bring people to their feet again and all these shit bands will have nobody to imitate… cuz how do you imitate “good music” with no real talent…
