Punk never died, but the political punk movement isn't doing well.  The issue, at least as I see it, is that there isn't the same type of huge punk scene that there was back in the late 70s through the mid 80s, when American punk was (IMO) at its peak.
We've got just as much political turmoil.  Hell, we've even got the same "bad guy" again, with the former Reagan era KGB big-shot Putin in charge of Russia, and not exactly on friendly terms with the ol' U.S. of A.  So what happened to the scene?
Did we all just get old and lazy, without passing that fire on to the next generation?  Did the next generation just not care, because they were too busy playing video games instead of instruments?  Or did Hot Topic manage to mall-punk the scene to death to where the real punkers just said "fuck it, it's done," and they took office jobs where they quietly listen to old MDC albums and think about how NOTHING HAS CHANGED?




Yes! Exactly! Where has that fire gone man? :sad:

It's not the fact that they've got tons of tattoos, odd piercings, or neon haircuts that won't net them a job.  It's a lack of useful skills, and no desire to work.  I'm a mechanic, and just about everyone in our shop (sales included) is inked up, punched full of holes, and/or has a non-office-job hairstyle of some sort.  I've got friends who look the same who are butchers, couriers, welders, and very successful tattoo artists who travel the country doing invited guest work.  You can look this way and still work if you know a valuable trade.  It's not likely that you'll get a job as a paralegal to a Wall Street firm, but, you can still be gainfully employed.

The problem (as I see it) is when someone decides that the only "real" punk is crust punk, so they drop out of society entirely.  Intentionally marring themselves to try and assure unemployability (and blaming "the man" for a lack of acceptance).  Spanging and stealing to afford food, booze, and drugs.  Train hopping from town to town after they've worn out their welcome with even the established homeless of a city and they get, literally, run out on a rail.
Those are oogles.  And while not all of the punk scene is politically motivated, those rotters are only motivated to run counter to what is perceived as "normal", no matter the cost.

I guess I'm overly critical, because I grew up as an 80s punker.  There have always been crusties, just huffing glue and being a waste of space, even back when I was in the scene.  But I came up as a politi-punk, and while it seems that nothing has changed in 30+ years because we as a society are still fighting the same old shit we were back then, at least we tried.  (And some of us are now just old punkers, still trying.)
