Let's just start basically with 2 words: 'Local Punks'. what do majority of younger teenagers think of? good charlotte, simple plan, blink 182, maybe even that bitch avril lavinge. why? mass media and commercialism; especially on MTV. take a look now at the local underground scene. young teenagers only visualize punks with colourful mohawks, steel-toe boots, bondage pants with zips and studded sidezips (not that this ain't correct about punks). Bands to follow? rancid, the exploited, casualties, operation ivy and occasionally oxymoron. that's all there is to being a punk? where did lifestyle and ideologies go? does bootlace spell out what a punk is? bullshit. walk around city hall on a saturday. just observe the present 'punks'. 3-quarter kinda baggy bermudas/mat tappered jeans, high-cut converse shoes/mat slippers, a band t-shirt(if they've got the cash), spikey hair(durianhead)/armani hair????, chains dangling around their hips and to top it off, a studded belt/wristband. maybe even some fucking eyeliner. sounds familiar? no? go switch on MTV. get the picture? seriously. WTF has happened to punks these days.
fuck fashion and now its about lifestyle. ever watched an interview on mtv with goodcharlotte/simpleplain/avrillafuck/blink182? they've got 'attitude'. their sleeves are worn up to show off their tattoos of how jock-like their 'muscles' are, hold a beer can in their hand to promote drinking, look down on the floor instead of the camera but when its performance time they stare straight at the cameras. cam-shy my ass. of course not forgetting to give a stupid fucked up arrogant face as though they're not happy at all to be on set.
how's that different from local punks these days? they sit around trying to look and act tough (wont smile either) so that when minahs walk past, they think those guys are cool, handsome, some bigshot. mats. 2nd thing they'll do is to grab any drink as long as there's alcohol in it (even though its 5% vodka) and after 1 or 2 sips, they get so DRUNK. Then comes the time to go home. 'ikut aku ah. aku takut ah nak jalan tepi skinheads...' ('follow me ah. im scared to walk by skinheads') fucking wanna put up a 'violent-macho' show in front of their own friends, passers-by and minahs but immediately grow a pussy when they walk past skinheads. wanna be a punk? know what you're believing in and live up to the name. respect comes only when you truely live up to something you stand by strongly.
