honestly, I blame it on MTV
The majority of people that have gotten into the mainstream's idea of "punk rock", brainwashes them with the idea that in order to gain punk points you have to act like an idiot, wear your clothes a certain way, and only listen to what other people who want to be punk listen to; which incidently, is the very crap that mtv puts out.
"Punk" is a well oiled corporate marketing machine. MTV feeds the kids just the right ammount of deviance they can give them in order to keep them coming back.
It's pretty disgusting, but individual underground communities, whatever they are, punk rock, hip hop - even the jazz community, we can all see thru the bullshit, and know how our pioneers did it.
We just carry on that toarch, and by the way things are going now, the kids need us more than ever.
