That had to be the most moronic thing I have ever heard Briz, and for it you should be drug out into the street and shot in the spine, not so you die, just so you can't walk, and your throat should be cut out so you can never speak again. I never said anything about the way someone dresses, or the music at all. I was speaking strictly from an IDEAOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW.

Punk is about social change and representation of the little voices. It's about nothing more than that. It can never be commercial because of the fallacy that lies with in. Punk cannot be commercial for the fact that that's what it is against, the commercialization and catering to the majority. Punk isn't about the music at all, it's about a way of life. It's not dead, because as long as there are humans in existance, there will be an underrepresented group. The stereotypical punk style may no longer fit the mold, but there is still a group out there.

This, in my opinion, is the quote of the year (actually post of the year.) I'll leave with it.

I think this is how the public views Avril. Do they experience actual punk music with Avril? Nope. Do they understand what punk actually is? Not really. But with avril, they get to act like they do.

Does Avril promote this idea of her being punk? No, but she doesn't do much to dispell it either. For some reason, the public sees her in a tie, flipping people off and they label it punk. I call it annoying 12-year-old behavior, but to each his own.
Thanks everyone!
