Punk is Dead

A dumb term that people use to make it seem like they know everything about punk rock. Punk can't die because it never was a living thing. In reality, bands like MDC, Subhumans, Jerry's Kids, D.R.I. and the F.U.'s are still out and playing. Punk was always a marketing scam to begin with. The Sex Pistols were called punk by Malcolm Mclaren to cause controversy and in turn get them money. However, punk developed an edge to it and became an underground phenomenon. When bands like Green Day, the Offspring, Rancid and such broke into the mainstream, it was just the same thing as the Pistols and the Clash.
So shut the fuck up and go home. There's still scum, there's still nerds, there's still outcasts, and there's still real 'punk's (for lack of a better term).

Punk can't really die (but you can).
