I love a good discussion on music and genres. I welcome it. Now I agree to extent with your assertion that Pop can have rebellion. Yes it can and there are plenty of examples. And I would add that the impact of Pop on not only the LGBT culture but Black culture as well is an over all positive way that has brought both…

I didn’t actually read the article. So...let’s just let this one go. Okay? Just saw that messy bitch and read like a sentence. Maybe two. Lost my shit - work’s tough these days, y’know. I’m a good person. A decent person. I mean I’m alright. So it’s alright to give me a break here. 

OMG are you serious?! No your joking. Your joking! Are you? Music history is important. Now more so than ever.

I thought so? I get confused sometimes on here. Sometimes I think someones joking and then they come for me and I don’t know what’s happening. Can we blame this on age? A broken brain if you will. Also sorry.

I mean. Really? 

Really? Bad Relligion? Pop? No. What? No. Really? Colour me shocked, never heard that one before. Please explain.

I know. I couldn’t believe it. My roommate at the time was super into Avril. I liked the one song and don’t begrudge her career but c’mon. Avril would be terrified of actual Punks and I kinda doubted that she actually hung out with actual skaters (I did and while I had many crushes those guys were straight up dicks…

Ah the Knack, Cheap Trick. Interesting. Well I’m off to the Google rabbit hole thanks for the hot tip!

Mostly I hate Avril. Is that another sub-category of insufferable people? Cuz if so I’m cool with it.

It’s funny that you don’t want to parse it and you make fun “TRUE PUNK RAWK!” and then end with it’s date of death. I’m glad we clarified how above it all you are.

Punk its like puberty.

Changes by generation? Like you mean it morphs into pop? What.

Umm, first of all I felt like a 16 year old when I ranted. Secondly, Punk is a true thing that was beyond enjoyable and I miss that kind of misguided rebellion and dedication to the idea of anarchy. You can’t fake that kind pent of aggression and misdirected anger at the world. You know? It’s not just clothes and…

I say go with what feels the best.

I am not against Pop music. I like it. I like most genres really. Also my objection isn’t a reflection of my politics or ideology and I’m very well aware of Punk and the era in which it was born. I was just railing at Avril Lavinge man.

Hmmmm....no. The Ramones is a Rock band. A bona fide Rock band that had punk elements. They were popular but not Pop. Now there are those who will argue for the Ramones status as Punk but I’m firmly with the Rock status. I mean Punk itself is contentious since there are those who say the movement lasted like maybe 2…

Hahaha. Are you sure? Does it help to know that you just said it to an old?

No.

Exactly.

I am old. Clearly. I mean who else would shake their fists at these youngn’s disregard for pure music. But I don’t recall Power Pop at all.
