I like this mindset.

💯

👏 this is the way

there’s going to be a lot of good punk music created in the next few years, that’s a plus at least lol

@PhillyCodeHound very very small but I’ll take the wins I can now 🫣

@grubz love this perspective… now might be the time to start the punk band I’ve been contemplating for the last couple years. 🤔

@grubz That’s the kind of glass-half-full perspective we need right now. Love it. 🎸

@jimmitchell haha right? I wrote a lot of folk punk stuff for a few years and kinda drifted away from it. I think I might start toying around with it again

I was so mad I couldn’t even think straight for a minute there but I’m realizing we’re in this for the long haul… gotta at least try to be positive!

@grubz Kids, see 1985 for proper example of how to do this. youtu.be/uZFfnVpby…

@bloftin2 LOVE the Dead Kennedys!

@grubz A few people got it right very early. DEVO, for instance. Right about everything.

This is the right instinct!

A quote I like:

Because creation is #resistance. Making things is additive. And in a subtractive time such as this, you must balance the void with its opposite. That is an act of defiance. And we need more defiance.

– Chuck Wendig​

Or destroy, which is practically the same, since to be able to create something, you need to destroy something else. It’s the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Yes! I love this. And there’s so much that needs creating, especially when we see how much of what was created long ago no longer works.
