As someone with very, very little interest in modern music, it's amusing to me to see how "punk" has become socialist conformity. Yet another example of failure to gatekeep.
It seems insane that the youth of our country agree with the government and big corporations and think they are counter culture for doing so.
That's because it is insane. Leftism is not rational or honest. They embrace and thrive on dishonesty and indecency.
As someone who immediately saw the irony in Rage Against The Machine's debut album becoming as huge of a commercial hit as it did, and laughed at the fact that none of the morons that bought it twigged to the notion that they were just as commercialized and capitalist in their neo-socialist conformity as the yuppies and society they were "rebelling" against, nothing in the realm of "punk" surprises me anymore.
Mainstream commercial nihilism can't be trusted?!
I didn't say it was.
I was remarking on what a joke the very concept of "anti authoritarian" is.
It didn't 'become' socialist conformity. It was always socialst conformity. "Non-conformists" have always been nothing more than people who conform to a different standard, but a standard no less. They're just as conformist as anyone else.
