Punk's Not Dead

[wendybeth]

If true Punk were to be carried out to it's natural conclusion, it wouldn't have made it past 1978. Of course anything that catches on with a large segment of the population is going to get commercialized- it's silly to suppose otherwise. So long as they continue to write the songs (especially the lyrics) that first got me going, I could care less. I love Green Day- I ignored them for the longest time, but the lyrics on this last album caught me and give me hope that the next generation won't be so unquestioning of authority. I had been very disenchanted with music for the past decade, and now I have reason to look past the 'oldies' stations and actually start buying cd's again.
