Punk 7/17/03 |
The other day I was minding my own business while walking around at a local flea market when all of a sudden I saw something quite disturbing. There was a kindof tall, skinny white guy with black jeans on that were way too tight and short (they were probably his 12yearold kid brother's), a ratty t-shirt and tall black hair with, get this, neon green stripes. In fact, his hair was so tall, I would rival it with Don King's or Buckwheat's...except for the neon green stripes in it. Anyway, this moron was a punk. That's right, the movement that started and ended over 20 years ago is making a drastic return. This wannabe punk was not the first one that I've seen lately (just the most idiotic looking one). I saw one at a recent con and even one at a LARPing event. They're freaking everywhere! The only punk we like is CM Punk, an indy wrestler who models himself after Raven...and he's not really a punk. So, are people really so uncreative that in order to try something new they have to try something old? Really now, what's next? Kids dressed like Austin Powers? I know the guy with the green hair was probably just some attention whore who wanted people to look at him and think "what a weirdo!" Well congratulations, I think you're not only a weirdo but a first class jackass! I guess that's one step above and beyond what you were going for. Well, my friend, any time that you hear people whisper when you pass by, or someone giggling or a child shout and point, they're actually laughing at you. No, they're not impressed. No, they don't think you're cool. You're just a moron. Now go home, grow up and try being original.
London's calling. They say, "punk is dead."
