What do bitches know of punk?
So I thought that you knew the question you were asking me to answer
Now I find in your indifference you never bothered with what the words meant
You’re pulling, you’re headless of the slack that forms behind you
You’re forging, you make another link in the chain of circumstance
Your mouth made sounds and words, your lips formed them well
But to discern the content was hard for me to tell
And falling, you fail sometimes to convince me of sincerity
And with that pulling in me I build another link for you to add
Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy
Oh my friend, you know I hate it, but you know it can’t stay
Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy
Now only time together pushes toward my place to answer
This music’s purgatory awaits its end, time’s special dancer
You’re doing just as well as a jewel in the mud
You’ll do just a well when your surviving dust ascends into heaven

Jeff S. (S stands for Squeal):
here’s your punk:
wow and i thought Jr. was bad. oh well, grampa is still one of the greatest songwriters of all time, regardless of the shit his bloodline puts out there.
for jerry
wow and i thought Jr. was bad.
Jeff S. (S stands for Squeal): That’s what makes you un-punk. Jr. was punk. III is very punk. Your punk is born of the politically correct education: punk for the middle-class.
^ punk was always largely for the middle-class.
This one sums it up nicely.
man i am majorly un-punk. you have no idea! i don’t even wear pot leave patches on my jacket.
so go ahead punker, educate me.
^ exactly ari
punk was always largely for the middle-class.
Actually, this is completely untrue. I’m sure the middle-class thinks punk was for itself. And as the middle-class defines punk, it;s probably mostly true.
But look at how a Jeff S character tries to define both CVB and Hank III. He can’t, of course, because he wasn’t there. But he tries because he has google. Google is not punk.

jerry,
i didn’t try and define either… i just don’t like Hank III. i do like camper van beethoven though… even seen them play a couple times
so go ahead punker, educate me.
I’m not a punk, bitch- I’m a redneck. That you can immediately find your “punk mate” in Ari on a website means you have it too easy.
no, it means that you don’t get it.
this is who i learned from… years before google.
Zappa knows
i just don’t like Hank III. i do like camper van beethoven though…
Of course- Camper is comfortable white middle-class punk while Hank III is very uncomfortable. I love both.
Punk as a genre or a way of describing something means next to nothing to me. people were playing punk for years before some journalist coined the phrase. i like all kinds of music, but most of the music that i’ve been drawn to in my life is honest and raw. the spirit of this thread is outlined pretty clearly in the opening post… if you don’t like it, than don’t post. your hostility is puzzling
are u guys moshing in here??
HAHA^
This thread needs some Flower Punk Porn
“Actually, this is completely untrue. "
It’s at least partly true – from punk’s migration to the suburbs to the progeny of some of its best known practitioners. If you want to take out the weird art school kids/alienated and bored middle-class suburban kids who were formative to the music to reclaim a “pure” working class punk, I guess that’d be okay but it is ignoring an essential part of its origins.
