Amen. Basically agree with Janszoon. Not sure why the bloke's mates didn't just grow up?

You are aware that the Rip Offs were a great garage band back in the '90's right?

All commodities are bull****. Why are people harping on Marx all the time. DeBord addressed these issues decade ago, music and capitalism.

I've known many who did and certainly recognize the types he refers to in the article. And I guess they're the sort of people he wanted to write about.

Politically, what passes for "punk" these days has completely done a 180 degree turnaround.

Punk used to be about anti-government and hating hippies, but if you look at them these days, they LOVE government and have the exact same viewpoints as the hippies did.

Skaters love the government?? Since when?

As far as the article goes, seems like an advertisement for the author's band. He harkens back to punk ideals and blames various groups of people for the changes in society.

Punk became too much up-you-own-assedness, and then evolved into hipster, that's what really happened, and that's what the author sounds like.
