Exactly. And while Mr. Biafra may disagree with the conservative punkers' politics, I'm sure he can see that they are thinking independantly, possibly more than the majority liberal punkers out there. This is the bullshit double-standard that turned me off of punk long ago. You can think for yourself, as long as you don't think too far to the right! Punk doesn't have to mean left-wing. It just means that you're free to be whatever the hell you want to be.
Exactly but the punk mentality was origanally against the status quo and the government. It was a way to say "I reject the shit you are trying to force on me. It was a means of defining yourself not as a souless puppet of huge corperations.
"You still think swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go"
- Dead Kennedys
Its a means of exposing the flaws of society.
When you agree with the society that the punk community disarees with and hates you are no better than the politicians who made the country this way.
You can listen to the music, just dont call your self a punk.
