damnpunks2: And you live where?
cuponoodles85: Atlanta GA
damnpunks2: *laughs* So why do you say "Anarchy in the UK"?
cuponoodles85: It's just somethng most punks say
damnpunks2: You mean something most trendy ass poseurs say...
cuponoodles85: No ask any punk theyll tell you!!!
damnpunks2: Nevermind, you're a lost cause.
Sure there's a lot more punks than there was four years earlier, but
there was also as many poseurs. Poseurs were people that looked like
punks, but they did it for fashion. And they were fools. They would say
"anarchy in the UK," you see, poseurs. "anarchy in the UK," what the
fuck is that? What good is that to those of us in Utah, America? It was
a Sex Pistol thing. They were from England, they were British, that's
what they did. They were allowed to go on about anarchy in the UK. You
dont live your life by lyrics.
Another thing that pisses me off, talking about who started punk rock music. Was it the Sex Pistols in england, was it the Ramones and the Velvet Underground in New York? It was the Ramones, it was the Sex Pistols. Who cares who started it, it's music. I don't know who started it, I don't give a fuck. The one thing I do know is that we did it harder, we did faster, and we definitely did it with more love. You can't take that away from us. --SLC PUNK
Couldn't have said it better myself.
