Now where do you get off putting down grunge, emo and hipsters after getting your skivvies in a knot about me doing the same with modern punk? That's a tad hypocritical, dontcha think? What makes them less valid than punk?
Seriously, tell me exactly what you think makes grunge, emo and hipster less valid than punk?
