Not really.
The "punk ethos" is DIY
It is not that punks take pride in being "unpractised" it is that they are doing it themselves, for themselves, their way
- HDThoreaun 3y agoTheir way being "badly". In fact I think this is the problem. The scene effectively made "non-corporate" and "untalented" synonyms for the people in it. I think that's a huge mistake. The new era of DIY music largely eschews that idea which has been a major win for the scene. Doing things your own way shouldn't mean that you're just doing it worse.
- worik 3y ago> Their way being "badly". In fact I think this is the problem Not always. Many punk bands are extremely accomplished. > The scene effectively made "non-corporate" and "untalented" synonyms Nonsense! "Corporate" and "bad", are synonyms. Talent has little to do with it. Nobody gets to hear the enthusiastic, but bad, opera singers. Too much capital involved in putting on an opera. Every body in earshot hears the enthusiastic, but bad, punk rockers because DIY.
