I already mentioned I don't get how anyone can still be satisfied with this kind of music after they hit 16.
The reality is that it's mediocre stuff designed to fuel teenage rebellion. As we age, we learn and hopefully try to level up in every sense—including our taste in music.
Punk just doesn't cut it anymore.
Speaking from experience here. I have plenty of friends who are still stuck in their 30s listening to nothing but the Sex Pistols, Exploited, and whatever else. It’s a sad sight.
Again, that's just my take based on people I know. It doesn't apply to every middle-aged punk out there.
Listen to whatever you want. 🙂
Attica man! 😁

coastalbison73 said:Exactly. Back then, we were thrilled just to get a 90-minute tape instead of the standard 60, letting us squeeze a whole album on each side. If you had a solid circle of friends, you could burn through a ton of music. Discovering a new band 😍
was an actual mission. Now, you’ve got Last.fm, and you can find more new bands via "similar artists" in a single afternoon than someone used to find in an entire year.
I won't lie, I miss the crackle of vinyl... though, I don't miss the tapes.🙂
coastalbison73 said:Real punks are usually around 40 🙂 or a bit older.
And they weren't just about the look; behind the Sex Pistols or Sham 69, there was actual substance. Real rebellion, backed by the right books and movies.
Back in the 80s, subcultures like goths, alternative kids, and punks were clearly defined, but everyone had some kind of foundation.
(Now I watch my coworker at the office: he listens to Placebo, pop, Lykke Li, and then throws on Faith and the Mus, and he thinks it all fits together perfectly. On one hand, it's good that newer generations aren't so exclusive, but still... listening to everything at once? I don't get it.)

Btw, it seems like everyone except actual punks is rocking mohawks lately—from pro athletes to trendy kids and even some girls. 🤣

Rebecca Stewart3 said:Look, my partner still listens to punk, but it’d be a joke to see him hitting forty looking the way he did when we first met 😍😍
not to mention how people at his corporate job would take him. Honestly. Society shaped his exterior, but they never touched who he is on the inside...

Mark Cruz15 said:The link is broken. Personally, I think his first album from 2004 was his peak. This latest one is actually his weakest, even if it’s still decent.
Sean Doyle97 said:By the way, I grew up with my brother—older than me, total rocker. He started with all the classics and old-school punk. Hardcore punk hit me during my formative years and still sticks, but I dig what came before that too. Old punk is my favorite, obviously, along with some rock classics and post-punk. People here tend to overlook them, or rather, they've been forgotten. They eventually got some play, though—Theatre of Hate. Given how trendy post-punk is getting again, it’s weird that nobody mentions them. Westworld is a classic, and Mick Jones produced it, for what it's worth.
gentlewolf53 said:Yeah, those were bands that actually knew how to play. Personally, I used to get harassed at the Student Center by various Pink Floyd fans and old dinosaurs just because I had The Clash on my jacket , but hey, at least they definitely heard of them after that, if not more.
Just like my theory that the first punk band was the kinks all day and all of the night. Ha, ha.
gentlewolf53 said:The first one was a punk precursor, and the second one dropped here right when we were really into it. Personally, I’d put Pure Mania by The Vibrators almost on par with the early days of The Clash. It was totally overlooked, though, aside from that one song. Baby, Baby, Baby.

An awesome album I only just discovered...
