PUNK IS DEFINITIVELY BURIED🎸
It was born as a symbol of "rupture". A rupture with musical conventions: distortion, imperfection, technical incompetence which, instead of being a problem, became a symbol of spontaneity and anarchy. Above all a rupture with social conventions: politically incorrect, iconoclastic and outside the usual categories of right and left, provocative even just for the sake of provocation.
Today it is among the genres most assimilated into the dominant culture. Today's "punks" try to look like those of yesterday, that is, they flatten themselves into a stereotype, but they are losers, like a frightened kitten bristling its fur that only inspires tenderness.
If on the one hand we have the famous old guard who have sadly turned into do-gooders, I am
a personal witness to provincial "punks" who a few years ago went around demanding green passes to take part in their events and who today proudly wear every stereotype of the dominant culture: crude feminism, anti**scis*o in the absence of fa**is*o, veganism and so on and so forth. Soon their musical recordings will be produced "perfectly imperfect" by an AI and sponsored by Soros. Perhaps I'm late and it's already happening.
