| Sex Pistols – EMI Lyrics | 16 years ago |

"These days, it has become very, very easy to categorize and stereotype "emo" and "punk" acts, as they have established an aesthetic standard for themselves; tight, thrift store t-shirts, faded jeans, jet black hair, etc. It seems to me, that any band that fits this aesthetic is "emo", but what about the music? Does anybody even care anymore? Is it right for bands like Boxcar Racer and Bright Eyes to be lumped into the same category? I will now attempt to further illustrate this point: take for example, Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday. Both these bands are considered to be "emo" by modern standards, but why? Do they sound alike? Absolutely not. But, do they dress alike? Yes. What used to be a sincere art-form is now a trendy fashion statement. What the fuck is going on here? These days, everything seems to be "emo". From the most commercial shopping center to MTV... "emo" is fucking everywhere! It's literally embarrassing to use the term to describe something in total seriousness as it has been bashed, beaten and totally thrown out of context over the years. It has become a big joke. " The same thing goes for the term "punk". Despite the claims of many people today SAY that they are "punk"... what almost everybody who has ever said the afformentioned phrase fails to recognize is that it is NOT a way of dressing, NOT a type of music. Just because someone wears slip-ons, listens to music that shares the same title, and whatever other mockeries of the literal form of punk have been made, it is NONE of these common stereotypes. TRUE PUNK, the kind you cannot find at a corporate clothing retailer or uttered from the mouth of some jackass that, in their eyes at least, is a "punk" because they happened to be wearing a pair of Vans, or possibly some tight jeans and are listening to a phony "punk" band such as Green Day or Avril Lavigne. What these people fail to understand is that...... PUNK IS NONE OF THESE! It is much, MUCH more than a type of dress or a musical form What it TRUELY is, it is a way of thinking, an intellectual property of standing up for yourself, standing up for what you belive in and doing what YOU want to and letting big corporations (Nike, Abercrombie and Fitch, and GAP just to name a few) tell you who or what to be, and of course what to look like completely robs any shred of true, dignified "punk" completely away from these posers. Punk is a dying way of life. There are only a handful of real punks left, surronded by far too many posers. I listen to real punk rock such as 7 Seconds, Sham 69 and The Misfits and I blatently discourage many of the brands and ideas that have almost killed the true lifestyle of punk. |
