What Is Punk?
Prometheon replied to borntohula's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
....and make us realize that they are much, much better than the idiotic alternative of being "punk." Hahahaha sorry, I couldn't resist. I don't even hate punk (music) per se. It has its place, and I can recognize it as a legitimate genre. I just hate the culture for the same reason I hate goths. Their "message" is one of total unsuperficiality, and yet most of the people who identify themselves as "punk" go through incredible efforts to make sure you can tell because of the colors of their hair and the amount of metal in their face. Make up your mind. Do appearances and labels matter or not? Edit: And I udnerstand that the whole point is that they "don't care" what I think. Dress like a tool, and then act all proud when I stare. Congrats. -

Honestly, this may make me sound like an idiot or an asshole, but to me punk is inarticulate idiots playing inarticulate music and spewing unveiled, inarticulate lyrics in an "effort" to bring an irrelevant (because it is lost amongst all of the sweat, piercings, and lack of articulation) message to their inarticulate fans. Edit: To expand, I would say that if it sounds like a bunch of idiots are thrashing talentlessly on their respective instruments (using no more than 3 chords, and a relatively high tempo) and yelling about politics, anarchy, or empowerment, you're probably listening to "punk." -
I think it comes down to the fact that the gender you identify as, and the gender you actually are may not necessarily line up. Edit: After actually reading the article, I would say that biologically this person is female, though they obviously identify as male, and went through surgery/hormone therapy in order to become as male-like as possible.

Ham and eggs loaded with pepper and tobasco sauce. Deeeeelicious.

WHAT? No way. Ocarina of Time is AMAZING. I don't think it's as good as A Link to the Past, but it's close. ...after that though, they're all balls.

If You Could See Anyone, Who Would It Be......
Prometheon replied to darrenbacker's topic in Open Discussion
It definitely represents a fundamental shift in their sound, and I'm sure a lot of people see it as their "selling out" album, but I still enjoyed it. It's not as good as More Adventurous, but to me it seems like more than the sum of its parts. -

I agree. There are quite a few fantastic songs on that album.
