Punk is Dead

The truth. See also rap sucks

Although punk music fans (not the dirtbags who refer to themselves as punks - actual non human-beings) have been saying that punk is dead since 1978, it actually wasn't proven to be true until 1991 or so - the year "punk" broke in America

Since the early 1990s, punk bands are played on the big rock and top 40 stations in even the most rural areas of the United States. Green Day, for instance, sells as many records as 50 Cent and records on about the same six-million dollar budget in the same lavish studios.

Punk rock is recording a demo on a tape recorder in a trailer and selling copies of the tapes out of the back of your 1973 Ford Galaxy.

Now a fashion trend dominated by white prep school kids and emos.

How can anyone today disagree with the fact that punk is dead and has been for almost 20 years now?

teacher

A government employee who actually cares about his/her job and is unable to collect unemployment benefits but doesn't care and does it anyway out of love for the work.

An altruist, who actually likes kids and teenagers other than his/her own.

Someone who cares more about helping others than himself/herself.

Loathed by Republicans, hicks and inner city trash.

Loved by people you would actually want living in your neighborhood.

"Teacher, teacher" ... the crowd exclaimed when referring to Jesus Christ.

government employees

A collection of people too dumb, bald, lazy, handicapped, fat, black or old to get a job in corporate America.

The last refuge for dumb liberals.

That lady that looks like she crawled out of a barell of nuclear waste ... the one that takes three smoke breaks an hour ... she's been eating ho hos all day ... the one who speaks ebonically ... yeah, her, the fat one with tattoos on her neck ... she's one of those typical government employees

rap sucks

Possibly the truest statement of fact ever uttered by humankind

A phrase that's been around since rap was invented during the disco craze of 1979, when rap was rebuffed as a trendy fad that would be over in six months; no such luck unfortunately

Something that would get your throat slit in prison, if you said it

"Rap fucking sucks," Sam Kinison

"Your husband probably shouldn't have gotten that RAP SUCKS tattoo on his asscheek, before being sent to prison," Peg Bundy

anita bryant

A co-founder of the Religious Right - a conservative, Christian, political movement in the United States that began in the late 1970s and continues to the present day.

Politically to the Right of more traditional evangelicals like the Rev. Billy Graham

Led a political crusade against homosexuality in the late 1970s that killed her career, while simultaneously opening the door for the Moral Majority - Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell - into mainstream politics.

Bryant is largely responsible for the ascendancy of Ronald Reagan to the White House in 1980.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bryant had been a model, a singer and an Florida orange juice spokesperson.

A largely unsung martyr for the Christian Right in the U.S. and arguably the most effective political spokeswoman in the past 30 years.

Anita Bryant turned fear of homosexual child molesters into an artform.

Without Anita Bryant's "Save Our Children" campaign during Jimmy Carter's first term, Carter may have had a chance at a second term.

methtropolis

A city with lots of methamphetamine addicts, where tons of tweakers live and break in and rob your shit

Independence, Missouri, is the methtropolis of mid-America

Bakersfield is one methed up methtropolis and close enough to L.A. to bake up tons of that tooth shattering shit for Los Angelenos.
