So The Punk Rockers Are Having A Debate

Tweet

Well, that is if you call it a debate. More like they are just choosing a side and telling other punk rockers what side they should be on. This after many punk rock musicians and other types of musicians came out today and endorsed Bernie Sanders. Leaving many punk rock fans in an uproar. Upset that these musicians who are supposed to be about rebellion and anarchy are going for another big government lifelong politician. That is more or less their words, not what the reality of what many of these punk rock musicians believe. Sure most believe in rebellion, but only because they think the system is broke and not working for the people it needs to be working for. It works for successful people. Obviously, if you are successful. You pretty much have your life figured out and really do not need much more help from the system. The people who are barely getting by or just existing in life is where the system should be focusing on. That is what many of these musicians believe, at least by the bands I listen to. There is some anarchy in punk rock, but most of that music I do not listen to because we all know society cannot function under anarchy, which is basically chaos. Most bands I know or listen to are about rebellion of an unjust system that is becoming more and more corrupt. Meaning, I think many fans are missing the point of these musicians view points. Just because they hate government in their music does not mean they hate government overall. They just hate the 99 percent of the government we have now. I have always said it is not the government that is the problem. It is the people in the government that are the problem. They are like most of society where they can't think for themselves or choose not to. Something I have always loved about punk rock music. It teaches you to think for yourself. Why can't these politicians think for themselves? That is because peer pressure is a son of a gun and most do not have the intestinal fortitude to combat it. Leaving us with a government that is run by Corporate America!! Which in turn takes care of Corporate America. Not your everyday citizen, but the people who are in charge and help run Corporate America. Bottom line is if people would think for themselves and stop trying to tell what others to think then we all would not be at each others throats all day every day. People want to live and do their life.... their way. Not everyone wants or needs to go to college. Not everyone needs or wants to become a millionaire. Not everyone wants to be a lawyer or doctor. Some people like the fast life and to make lots of money. Having lots of people around them. Others like the slow and simple life of living away from people in a small house. Do not care about being rich, but does not want to have to struggle to eat and feed their family everyday. Just because they choose that life means they should not be taken advantage of by all these people who want to live the fast wealthy life like we currently do.
