WHY 90s MUSIC SCENE WILL NEVER BE TOPPED (UNTIL WE GET RID OF FRUMPTARDS)
Came across this photo of Sublime performing sometime in the 90s. This is what punk rock shows in the 90s looked like. Everyone dressed differently. Oh, and nobody is severely overweight either. Not even moderately overweight.
Not a bunch of fat frumpy lesbos and soi-dorks wearing shitty Goodwill denim with cloth political patches like you see today. These days, go to a so-called "punk" show and everyone looks like they came from the same factory, inside and out. These days they're all ugly and smell like ass.
I saw The Dickies perform recently while I was waiting for Screeching Weasel to come on. As I looked around the audience, just about EVERY SINGLE MOTHER FUCKING RETARD in the venue was wearing black or blue jackets with stupidass patches. Where's Waldo would have taken less than 3 seconds because he would've stood out like a floodlight on the dark-side of the moon.
I went to see Home Grown at the same venue a month earlier and at least that crowd had far more variety in their outfits. You have to re-unite a band from the 90s in order to have fun at a show anymore. The bands that carried on since the 90s have all joined The Cult of Frumptards.
Seriously, at one point, the singer from The Dickies pulled out a sock puppet and held it out in front of him as if it was singing the song. THAT'S what you call "stage presence?" Really? A fucking sock puppet held by a lifeless automoton who just fucking stands there. With a fucking SOCK PUPPET! Holy fuck! I performed in elementary school productions that had way more interesting stuff going on than a fucking sock puppet held by a lifeless zombie who hasn't quite completed his transformation yet.
I've said it before and I will say it again, modern "punk" is basically just half-a-step above a Chuck-E-Cheese band. At least they had enough self-awareness to call it quits.
Fat Mike can gate-keep the door to Chuck-E-Cheese all he wants but fuck if I or anyone worth a damn gives two shiots about playing there anymore. Oh wait, he can't do that anymore because he sold off his entire catalog. LOL!
