Yeah Morrissey turned out to be way more badass than he appeared at first. He has always been stubborn and private, but now he is just like "fuck you" if you don't like it.
😂about Morissey, so true! Ironic that Morissey was always criticized for being “in his feels” and “feminine” - turns out he has more testosterone & balls than the entire “tough guy punk” scene combined
John Lydon (Sex Pistols, PiL), one of the fathers of REAL, ORIGINAL punk (not that pop-punk second wave crap) and who has always been a hardcore liberal, recently has been speaking out about the excesses of the far-left. See his interview in the Guardian for an example:
NOFX were never punk. They were second-wave, pop-punk garbage. Also, some of their songs had Zionist, Jewish supremacist themes like the song "We're the Brews" in which they sing about "terrorizing goyim".
I can no longer ignore the propaganda of cultural destruction in most modern music, the exceptions being gospel, bluegrass, and deep folk country (these all exist in the same niche and largely overlap). My tolerance for it is very limited.
I now listen to classical music almost exclusively. My mind seems clearer and my mental background is more relaxed. Vet your influences carefully.
I realized Punk was dead back in 1983, which was the year I quit organizing shows, moved to the country and bought a herd of dairy goats. The first sign that this was the case? The way so many Punks started embracing veganism and pressuring others to do the same. In some ways, that was the beginning of what we now call "Woke", which has culminated in full-blown TDS and Covidmania among those aging "Punks".
Bang on. Got into punk in 1979 when I was 13 and virtually all those bands now suck corporate dick these days and toe the official line. Makes me sick.
It's disheartening until someone comes along and says "I see it too". Thanks for reminding me I am not alone in this miserable paradigm. I am starting to sniff out what is next, but it has been a long time since I was sure what I'm hearing legitimate rebellion.
Great article, I’ve watched the same thing with my favorite punk bands- those who used to be “anti-establishment” have become the establishment
The only truly “punk” mentality and anti-establishment singer/group I know of who is still a rebel
And “dangerous” because they dare speak out
Is…Morissey
He stands alone, still as rebellious as he was in the 80s
All the rest have become woke sellouts
John Lydon still seems to have it.

Yeah, I remember watching him a couple years back and thinking, "thank God."

Wasn't it Rage Against the Machine that required proof of vaccination _and_ masks to go to their shows?
"Fuck you, you better do what they tell you!"

Now you know how it feels to be a fan of Neil Young. He seemed so incorrigible up until the turn of the century. Now I feel embarrassed for him.
