Guardian's Article

Dorian Lynskey from The Guardian wrote an article, "No Future? Punk is still the sound of youth rebellion the world over," about the survival of punk. It's a great article speaking about how everyone has a different meaning of punk. When ideals clash, the basic fundamentlas of self-expression, independence, nonconformity, resistance, and a belief in alternatives unifies and keeps the survival of punk culture.

A great quote from the article was from Mike Sabbagh, Occupy London Exchange activist who works on the Occupied Times paper. He said "I remember when I was 16 in Detroit, listening to bands like NOFX, Crass and Conflict and thinking: 'I don't feel like a crazy person anymore. There's other people who feel like this and they're articulating problems that I'm only starting to get into focus. It's not just the lyrics that are pushing back against social norms – it's the practice of getting out and publishing your own stuff, making small communities. People really can make a huge difference in music and the shared communities that come out of it."
