be gentle

hey, you know what i love? people that argue that rock doesnt have to be aggressive at all to be rock. this generation of middle schoolers fucking LOVES music that makes them feel like pussies. music where the goal of the artist is to look as gay and awkward as possible while singing in the most sensitive voice as possible. they call it rock, but its not rock. its a revival of that shitty 80's pop, where (gasp) the point was to look gay and sing in girly voices. example: any of the artists on the front page of purevolume.com.

but kids still call it rock because theyre afraid that if they admit they listen to pop music itll ruin their cred. fuck that. i shoulda been alive in the 50's when rock & roll was banned from radio stations. when rock & roll pissed people off. when rock & roll could make you dance even if you were a cripple. is there anything else in history that has changed so much and yet still has the same name?

this is why i need my punk. i need something that doesnt make me feel like a drone at a fucking foo fighters concert. or like a fucking fairy at a plain white Ts show.
maybe its because eveery fucking kid is too weak nowadays. parents are even afraid to hit kids. i dont mean a fuckin punch in the eye, im just talking a slap on the hand. youre trying too hard to protect your kids. well MAYBE when you try this hard to protect your kids, you end up making them MORE vulnerable. the result is this enfatuation with this soft sensitive music. music with NO MESSAGE. how can so many songs be traced to some bullshit about a girl or guy. jesus christ. if you HAVE to write sensitive music, at least write about something you fucking care about beyond the other sex.

i guess the ultimate reason i hate this music is because it serves no purpose. it doesnt educate, it doesnt elicite any emotion other than depression, it doesnt challenge anything, it doesnt unite. this music is NOT rock. its fucked. and civilization is next.
