punk is like christianity
 

It was started on cool principles by cool people, but most of its followers are dipshits.

But who started punk??

Saint Peter. Cuz the man motherfuckin denied Christ like a punk rocker should.

A bunch of people. I'd say Iggy Pop would be Jesus, which would make David Bowie like John the Baptist. MC5 and the Kinks would be Joseph and Mary. T. Rex, The New York Dolls, and the Velvet Underground would be the 3 wisemen.

CBGBs would be like the 12 apostles, and british punk would be like Paul's congregation.

The Casualties and bands like that would be Pat Robertson.

that list sucks u left out all the founding dipshits of punk; johhny rotton, sid vicious, kurt cobain, romones, etc...

Sex Pistols = pontius pilate
ramones are one of the apostles (CBGBs)
kurt cobain would be like john calvin or martin luther or one of those guys. I'm gonna say John Calvin, beacuse I don't think Kurt Cobain would be able to make 95 accusations against the punk rock church. I'd say some early hardcore guy would be Martin Luther.

awesome much better now

I'm waiting for atsonicpark to say that Scissor Shock is Mother Theresa.

I'm to punk rock what Nick Cave is to Christianity.

Spot the odd one out. Punk?!

in a sense, yes.

I don't want any of your music history revisionism please.

I would think Ian MacKaye was more like John Calvin.

I don't see Ian Mackaye as being someone who would believe in John Calvin. He could be the Martin Luther, being sort of the figurehead of hardcore punk. Hardcore punk = lutheranism, grunge = calvinism (grungers are predestined to smelliness and bad drug habits), punk = catholicism

Blink 182, Sum 41, and other pop-punks are the Rapture.

Yeah, I see the whole apathetic defeatism being similar to Calvinist predestination.

good point, well put.
I think im going to buy some fugazi.

I'm not buying any of this really, but it's still entertaining. Who would be Mohamed then, Chuck D or Grandmaster Flash?

aaaah ha ha ha... very funny.

can i rep you? let's see...
