It feels forced - absent of any true emotion…

But they have youth on their side and are exploring musical expression and that I can applaud.

"absent of true emotion"

Yeah, there is no emotion in punk. /sarcasm

Your attempt at partially quoting me and then misinterpreting what I said is frustrating… obviously I never said punk itself was absent of true emotion >:/

Were you in the band?

Ok, you are not speaking of the music. What then is "absent of true emotion" to you then?

Perhaps you can swallow a little bit of that pride and admit you made a judgement statement which may not be founded.

No I'm not in the band.

The word “feels” is in my original statement. You should swallow your attempts at debate.

No, I certainly feel emotions that are true and so do you. We all do. For example, You are clearly bothered by me asking you to explain what in particular you felt was so lacking in true emotion. It's clear you can't articulate this and perhaps you even know that you were being judgemental and just threw out a criticism that might not be true without thinking about it too much. The interesting thing, to me, is that it is your "true emotion" that prevents you from saying something to the affect of: "on further reflection there are true emotions going on here."

Of course these young people are experiencing true emotions. They are clearly feeling this experience. They're doing something daring; risky even. They're having fun. They're making music and having experiences. The music itself is very emotional. The singer is literally screaming into the microphone with anguished energy. Whatever you feel about this music or this act of taking over a metro train, the one thing that is clear is that these people and this music are full of emotions.

young people seem to think being contemptuous combined with certain consumer choices makes them part of the resistance. listening to punk music is apolitical, punk rockers just want attention from their parents or teachers or whatever. being mad at the government or authority is easy. growing the fuck up and figuring out how to make the world better is the hard part. crowding a train is not rebellion it's a nuisance.

Your reaction to them gives credibility as to what they are doing is indeed “punk”… punk requires your exact response (and many more like yours) in order to be validated.

Nothing wrong with being old. A lot of good people grow old. Maybe you will too someday.

I think what you dislike about this person's comment may be articulated better. May you grow and learn how to construct those thoughts.

I'm already old, and I never said I disliked the comment. Just that it shows that the OC is old.

Nice cape though. Glad you're here to protect us seniors.

As a person getting old, your comment is shit. Getting old fucking sucks.
