Is it just me or are punks going soft?

I mean I see a whole load of "hippy punks" all soft and "lets join hands and sing josssanana" and still claiming to be original punk. and shit like that.

um wasn't that the whole concept of punk, like fuck society and "anti-authoritarianism, a DIY ethic, non-conformity, direct action and not selling out. Other notable trends in punk politics include nihilism, anarchism, socialism, anti-militarism, anti-capitalism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-nationalism, anti-homophobia, environmentalism, vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights."

like "fuck what you think."

and yet here i find a shit load of people begging for answers on questions like "should i do this...?" "would this suit me..?" it is like listening to a woman ask if her ass looks big in a pair of jeans. I DONT GIVE A FUCK. if YOU WANT IT WHY CARE WHAT ANY ONE ELSE THINKS?!

sorry but it is a rant I know.

but oppinions?

and yeah send me hate for this i really dont care.

Its because the internet has grown to where everyone has access to it now, which exposes people to new ideas and beliefs.

Downside is it seems to make people more docile, which is probably why your average basement dweller can come off as an information kiosk, yet is 34 and lives with mommy

NO its not just you. Its society as well. 20 years ago, blue hair meant you would DEFINITELY have someone try to kick your ass on the way home. A mohawk was a FUCKING COMMITMENT.

In the Internet Age, there is hardly any anonimity in real life. So you cant get away with as much (but dont worry fellow wierdos) There is still MUCH you can do outside the boundaries!
