Random Tangent: Punk Rock Needs to Give Up On Life

Sorry, I know this is a bit random, but I'm sick and tired of seeing people who complain about music and how there is no real punk rock anymore. I for one am very happy there is no "real" punk rock left in the world. I would also be very happy if the new wave punk rock would die with it. Now don't get me wrong, some bands pull of the punk with a twist quite decently. Mohawks, leather jackets, and massive metal and tattoos covering your body does not make you cool, or give you elite status within our culture.

I just never understood the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. Songs like "I Want to be Sedated" just annoy the shit out of me. All their voices blow, they barely play anything resembling music, and people think it's "real" music. Maybe it is/was a lifestyle thing? Any punk kid I see today just looks like he needs a good slap, and maybe a few doses of real life to figure out that if he keeps up the path he is on, he is going to be a very sad person come the later years (if he doesn't off himself before then).

I know, I know, it's a bit harsh, but fuck it. I don't want to have to listen to them bitch and moan about how the glory days of music are gone. They seem to put any music that isn't fast or hard in the emo genre. I'm sure if I sat down an old Punk Rocker and played him Sigur Ros or The Album Leaf, he'd bitch about how there's no soul or something, and it's emo sissy shit. Then I'd have to kill him, err or at least bludgeon him till his brain starts functioning properly.

That's all I got. I just wanted to tell the "Real" Punk Rockers to go F themselves, and find music that actually resembles music.
