Slightly old Punk!wank
[info]fanficrants amuses in a spare moment with a small elitism musical wank.

[info]emogyrlskyttlez posts a rant about those ubiquitous "emo kids" and their worrying habit of hanging around Hot Topic and listening to Green Day (but not the real, proper Green Day, you understand, the new kind where they dance like Britney Spears on Kool-Aid. Or something. Damn those Young People with their New-Fangled Music *shakes stick*)

[info]lilykane objects that, unless you are Sid Vicious (in which case the Fortean Times would like to have a word with you) you, too, were a rubbish teenager at one stage.

[info]redninjawinz and the OP have a long argument about whether punk is or is not, in fact, dead (sadly, neither of them tries to dispute the deceased status of Sid Vicious). Both of them use the word "pose(u)r" a great deal, and seem to be unaware of the irony therein.

[info]ami_87 makes a contribution to the argument, although to be honest I have no idea what she actually said. She does, however, seem to disapprove of "white-blond" " punk-wanna be emo-slavered bitches ignorant assholes", but luckily seh's a "true buddist", and has therefore not seen ´fit to slaughter any of them. Yet.

And the whole time I wonder what this has to do with fanfic...

OP said she was born 'when grunge was just hitting the mainstream', which would make her about 14-15.

The funniest bit about the wank to me is that over half of the bands people are dropping to out hardcore each other I've seen on (German) MTV over the years. Now that's punk rock.

Not that that means she's not qualified to like punk. However, she isn't qualified to act like an elitist ass about it, either.

The only people who can really lay claim to that ability, IMHO, are the ones who Were Really There in the seventies. And they're a dying breed; when the eighties hit, quite a few of them went respectable.
