lol, no now I'm an old man....well er I like to think of it as middle age.

no age
no age
no age

Was never a punk, but I'd like to think there was an age cutoff for being one. If being a punk was just someone who listened to punk, then it wouldn't be an issue, but you can't just say you're a punk at the age of 40 without using a caveat that you like the music but don't wear a mohawk.

Lol, I don't deny the right of young teenagers today to do the punk thing if they want to, but I kind of see it as tapping into nostalgia.

Culture is completely different than it was 30 years ago, & musical genres come and go.

I think of punk music as simple, loud, sloppy, and rebellious. Kinda like Holden Caulfield eating Mexican food.

I don't really care about any genre's ideology or culture.

If that was true then the Rolling Stones first albums, early 80s black metal, and god knows what else would be punk. Punk is a cookie cutter fashion statement for kids who want to piss off their parents that stopped being relevant sometime in the 70s/80s.

I guess that's why I've never really understood the distinction between punk and, say, garage rock.

The only distinction, soundwise, was that one was made a decade earlier, and is therefore louder and faster.

I got a better question

Why did punk give middle class white boys the idea that they didn't need to shower ever

Why?
