Punk is dead. Once I witnessed old punk rockers backing government lockdowns, backing the authorities, and shilling for politicians and political parties, I realized rebellion is now a commodity.

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoYeah, because what punk was really about was always contrarianism in the face of authority. No, wait. That has absolutely nothing to do with what punk was about, other than some mainstream media story about punk, designed to terrify everybody else. Punk rockers in 1978 were shilling for politicians in London. They were cynical and honest and clear-eyed about it, but they were still shilling. ps. on HN I try never to vote comments down, I just try to reply instead. But I had to make an exception here.
