I created Punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. That's what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What was punk all about? To me, it was if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it.
People perceive punk rock in the sense of Sid Vicious, all strung-out, crazy and insane.
Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.
I do fear for the generations of people who came of age thinking that pop-punk is what punk is, and that all the rebellion you need is just to stick your tongue out in the mirror every once in a while.
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.
The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.
Punk music is rebellious.
I enjoy punk, the attitude as well as the music, but I don't feel like I have to be a carbon copy of it and invite all this controversy just to be punk rock.
It's very cliched to go, 'You're not punk.' We don't care if we are, and we don't care if we aren't.
