Bad Brains is one of my all-time favorite punk bands.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm gonna bring Bad Brains vibes 'cos that's what I do.
Punk music is rebellious.
I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.
I was always into punk, ever since I was 13, but I was into other stuff, too - like, well, the Spice Girls. I really liked Scary Spice.
I don't listen to punk any more, unless it's right before I play. Not that I don't like it, it's nostalgic. But, it's for kids and it should be... it's not art, it's expression.
Punk rock is very rebellious, of course, but it also means thinking for yourself.
Questioning anything and everything, to me, is punk rock.
Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery... it's about many, many individuals coming very loosely together.
I was a punk when I was 15 - I was definitely into it in a big way and loved it - but I came to London when punk was maybe where you'd say punk is dead.
Punk rock seemed to make sense. I was listening to The Clash and I really loved their social messages and they have a great history of fighting racism.
