im not what you would concider "punk" buy any streach of the imagination. But i did go to ALOT of punk shows in HS at the local club.
{rant}
anyway i think people dont relise that this is another example of how record companys make money, find whats new and alot of kids are getiing into And give the ppl record deals. Now with massive exposure the Craze of what ever music it is goes national. THEN it becomes Preverted By more record companys bastardising and cranking out new acts just to make a few more bilion dollars.
This trnd can be seen in MANY styles of music, Punk,techno(and i use the term loosly), Metal, Disco. BLah Blah Blah.
what i dont get is How a "scean" becomes dead by going "mainstream" I know of presios few Unsinged bands living in a burnt out warehouse who DONT want to go mainstream make millons of dollars and retire at 20.
this brings me to another point, Wehy do people say "ohh i like so and so when they were underground you know before they were mainstream", NOw if i got this right, YOU HLEPED MAKE THEM MAINSTREAM! If you werent a fan when the were "underground" they would have NEVER gotten a deal.
so anyway
