fake punk

fake punk is a poppy, watered down version of punk rock. ramones would be cl-ssified more accurately as a sort of proto-punk group, with the s-x pistols and dead kennedys being prime examples of real punk. fake punk sounds too clean, neat, and overproduced. the singing is typically whiny and pre-p-b-scent. the songs are generally sickeningly melodic and the lyrics are trite. at it’s worst, fake punk is a bunch of teenagers clad in hot topic singing about their girlfriend’s, at it’s most tolerable (yet still unbearable) fake punk features pseudo-political lyrics written obviously by someone who took a “social issues” cl-ss in highschool.

the people of fake punk rock, the fake punks themselves, make it more than obvious that they put alot of thought and effort into conforming to a certain standard, and totally contradict their supposed belief in non-conformity by wearing a uniform. arguably, even “real punks” with mohawks and homemade clothes are still fake, because they too are trying to conform despite their supposed non-conformist lifestyle. in the purest form, a true blue punk would walk around wearing a tshirt and jeans or sweat pants or whatever because the essence of the punk aesthetic is not giving a f-ck about what you look like or what other people think. thus a true punk appreciates everything about punk rock and doesn’t waste his time getting dressed up in a costume to be cool.
