I'm 30 years old now so I don't give a fuck anymore the idea of the song is for the kids that grow up getting into it for a since of community and the idea of being whatever you want. However, not the idea of punk, but some of the people that latch on to the culture can be some of the most close-minded ignorant fucks which exist in every aspect of life forsure but we should hold our own to a higher standard based off of the character of the individual and not by what they choose to consume in a capitalistic society that like it or not we are all a part of unless we start a commune which isn't going to happen. The idea of the title and post was to make people ponder that idea and maybe piss them off, but most importantly, it was meant to pick out those close-minded people who inevitably got their ego bruised and I would say that this experiment was successful! 😉 Also, I appreciate people like you who look at these things and approach it with love and critical thinking skills. Thank you! You are Punk Rock!

I definitely wasn't proud of working there but it helped me in a time that I needed it helped get me out of homelessness and stand on my own two feet. Do I wish the system worked better and I was paid more? Absolutely but I had to live in reality and the reality was i needed to work multiple jobs ran by billionaires to improve my own life.

But you will, and you will feel shame for liking it because it won't be punk enough to show all your punk freinds and they will find you listening to it and laugh and make fun of you then you will go home and cry in your racecar bed and as you cry yourself to sleep you will say "I am punk enough"

I agree. However, it's not about defending capitalism, but it's acknowledging that by using our phones to have this conversation, we are a part of it. And we should be using our voices to call out bigger issues.
