Sounds Like: "Every kid on the block is wearing the same clothes, same hair, same fingernail polish, and they sound the same. And you have to wonder how fast that's going to get old. You give it a year, give it two years, or whatever. There are going to be some bands like My Chemical Romance and The Used that are going to survive and be around for years to come, but all the people that are just copying those styles are going to be history. The thing is for me, like growing up in the 80's and going to punk shows and being part of the 80's movement, it was so different. It was scary, dangerous, you really feared for your life. When I went to a punk show, I feared for my life - whether the cops were going to get me, or some cowboys from the cowboy bar down the street were going to come with baseball bats and beat the shit out of me. And just going to school in a Black Flag T-shirt, that was taking a risk right there - you could get beat up by football players. So that was really cool to be part of something like that, which had such a meaning behind it. kids today, a lot of them don't understand what punk is about because it's so different. It's so easily accessible - it's ok to have tattoos, it's ok to have a mohawk, and no one really gives a shit. It's not a big deal because it's all about the attitude."
-Someone more punk than I'll ever be.
