Wall of Mouths

well, somesay t? are metal, others say they are punk, grunge or industrial. whatever, it’s good rock so who cares?
punks around here are either funny or anoying. i mean, not taking a shower and drinking cheap beer is fun when you’re 16, but it get’s pretty hilarius when you’re over 20.

Define punk. The word is about as abused and meaningless as it can become - to call Blink 182 and Sum 41 ‘punk’ is stretching the term about as far as it’ll go, but you’re right, people get hung up on terminology, at which it descends to nothing more than a marketing ploy. Busted are ‘soooo’ punk.

The same happened with ‘4 Real’ - meant something to Ritchie Manic about his credibility that a lot of people understood, but when Hairy Jellywell started saying that the Spice Girls were ‘4 Real’, the term had become hollow.

Most people are sheep and will wear what the magazines tell them to wear, listen to what the radio tells them is good, and in general have no opinion of their own. Go to a pub or club, go up to a good looking girl (or guy if that floats your boat)and see if you can talk to her for longer then 3 minutes without wanting to explain how very stupid she is to her. Wait for the amount of pricks that’ll be parading around the streets in Beckams new haircut in a matter of week for proof

Does this approach often meet with success?

Mnn..the evidence for this theory is strong, “Everything must go”… as in take away, as in so I can eat it on the way home, as in erstwhile band member…

I think Punk is more an attitude. You can´t define it via outfit. Just look at the whole “Techno-music”-scene. They also have blue-coloured hair and piercings, so they also must be punks ;-) Fortunately they´re not…

No, it´s just in your head. Weeks ago I had a discussion ´bout this topic with some friends, and they asked me, if I consider myself to be a punk. And I said “No, I´m a rocker.” And this is also, what I think of T?: They´re no Metal, they´re no punk or whatever. They´re just ROCK.

Good morning.

T? for me is a ireland band and for me is my favorite yeeaahhhh!!!!!! :)

Citizen you’re like the good fairy thats always missing off my shoulder when Im looking for advice. That other bastard is constantly steering me wrong. Im gonna get go out and get the shit kicked out of me! Yeah! Intimacy at long last

The highway is starting to leave me a bit scabby (at least I won’t go hungry)

This is 100% correct. Its not the kids of today fault thay don’t understand ‘real’ punk - they are influenced by the things they have around them now. They will never understand WHY punk had to force its way into existence in the 1st place.
The sentiment of 3 colours red still rings true though, ” we’re not punk cos that was 1977 but they were right, there’s still no tomorrow!”

I think if you’re not part of some gang and you have your own brain, and do things on your own for yourself then you can call yourself punk for breaking the mould society fitted you up in. If, on the other hand, you hang around shopping centres and wear something that looks good on your friends etc - you are a contender for being a WASTE OF SPACE!!!
