What in the hell were you doing in Hot Topic?
Seriously, there are plenty of good punk bands out there today. At the same time, I sometimes find myself bobbing my head to New Found Glory and crap like that every now and then. That doesn't necessarily make me a fan of cheesy, manufactured "punk" music.
Just imagine having been to a Ramones or Sex Pistols concert, and able to say that you were even a small part of some of the most creative, influential music ever made.
No, you and I live in times where bands like System of a Down and Slipknot are actually popular. Get with the program, man. Drop your guitar to D and revel in punk's demise.
I'm sorry I have to cut this post short, but I heard Hot Topic is having a sale on anarchy T-shirts.
