I'm still curious why punk even deserves to be defended from the likes of avril. Punk hasn't been relevant for decades, and yet we still have those who would attempt to "keep it real" guarding the gates of punk in a vain attempt to preserve something that has become a caricature of anything it originally stood for. If you were really punk you probably wouldn't even give a shit about avril lavigne. You wouldn't care if punk somehow got co-opted or misappropriated because you're not in it for the scene, you're in it for the lack of a scene. Anyone who complains of the ruination of punk rock has no idea what they're talking about. Punk, at its most relevant, was about the expression of a state of mind, not a dirty alcoholic singing about beating up hippies. If anything could ruin punk, it would have to be the punk elitest who by the very nature of their elitest attitudes betray the fact that they have no idea why punk rock was important.
