Used to be really into punk... still have a lot of punk friends, and associate with politically radical types, but I don't listen to the genre any more. I can't stand what I see as the insularity in the scene, to be honest, so not only have I drifted away from it but I've been pushed away from it. For all their talk of free-mindednes and liberation and what not, there are a hell of a lot of punks who seem to think that anyone who doesn't dress like them or listen to their music or think completely like them is someone not worth being around. Different lifestyles, oh my god, how threatening...
used to feel this way too for along time, left the punk scene for the militant anarchist scene, and found the same thing.
never met a group of people who aren't all sheep, but punk music is still so fucking good, the fuck society aspect of it still speaks to me in a way nothing else can. don't go to alot of shows, or hang out in the scene, but still love the music, and still listening to new stuff when i find something good.
