Rise Above Stereotypes

 The idea of punk is to not give a damn what people think of you, speak your mind, and defy authority, correct? This stereotype of "punk" has left all semi-intelligent people to lay waste to their ideas because they wish to fit in with the scene. Most people who hate the government drop out of school or don't proceed on to college; they decide to work minimum wage. Why is that? If you were to be intelligent and keep on gaining knowledge you will literally rise about the average person with your vast amounts of knowledge. You could accurately tell others about the corrupt things in this world without them thinking you're just a drop out who is repeating what they heard. 

Where do you stand?
