A wise soul once told me that Rock ‘n’ Roll was once about rebellion. I saw a documentary once that claimed the same thing about Punk music (by which I mean actual punk music). When I was an angsty teen, Grunge was the rebellious movement de jour, and it seemed that to call someone a “sell-out” was the biggest insult that could be levelled at anyone.

So when I see shit like this photo, I think “fuck you, Ramones.”

I know every second music fan in the world thinks they’re one of the best things ever, but fuck ‘em — they put out records for about ten years too long, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School was a diabolically shit movie, and the overwhelming majority of their songs sucked.
