This is the part I really like...... punk is so fucking safe and has been forever, even the 90's hardcore scene was in retrospect some of the most douchey people on the planet crying fucking foul about every perceived slight or injustice and thinking handing a like minded person a flyer or some shitty fanzine is going to do anything about anything..... even when I got into hardcore through thrash metal in the mid 90's it was so fucking safe, yet still snobbish and exclusionary and elitist, like all the worst elements of it have congealed into a bunch of whiney fucks....... bands like Sun Ra was alientating and challenging people 25 years before punk even existed and a guy like Prurient can still alientate "open minded" punks....... this isn't even a rant against "corporate punk" (which is obviously bullshit) more about the underground so smug in it's own elitist mentality......... you guys remember when Cripple Bastards came all the way from Italy to tour the US and the staff at ABC No Rio cancelled their show the day of because they used pornographic imagery in their band artwork? Not to be offensive but as a genuienly concerned statement against sexism, yet it was because they had
used the imagery, regardless of the intent that caused them to cancel their show at the last minute........ fucking punks.......
