He's not wrong but that hypothetical cancellation isn't a bad thing. I'm glad punk happened and I love the Misfits & punk rock but.. x.com/Revolvermag/st…
...there's *so* much racism, homophobia, misogyny and all sorts of fucked up stuff wound up in those bands, scenes, & subcultures...
...so yeah, we are a bit wiser these days, and yeah, a lot of seminal punk rock would (and should) get canceled if was starting today.
But that's just the evolution of pop culture and it's dissidents. Punk rock itself is a series of cancellations...
...I mean every punk movement/ genre is some form of repudiation of it's antecedents: hardcore, straightedge, twee indie pop, art-noise...
...it's all rejecting and cancelling something, and amplifying and adding something else.
Anyway, sucks to be on the other side these days, Glenn, but hey, I'm still blasting your obsolescent punk-pop and metal masterpieces...

...and things are getting better, thanks in part to the transgressive lyrics and music of The Misfits and others.
