what a sellout
michaelicious:
As technology (in this case computers/music making programs) becomes more readily available to a wider variety of people, the realm of "art" becomes more democratic. It affords people without any formal training the opportunity to create something, however amateurish it may be. I guess if you argee that one of the main things about punk was the aestheticisation of amateurism, the fact that some 12-year old jerks dicking around on a laptop can make some music is actually pretty punk.
--- Quote from: Legs McNeil ---This wonderful vital force that was articulated by the music was really about corrupting every form -- it was about advocating kids to not wait to be told what to do, but make life up for themselves, it was about trying to get people to use their imaginations again, it was about not being perfect, it was about saying it was okay to be amateurish and funny, that real creativity came out of making a mess, it was about working with what you got in front of you and turning everything embarrassing, awful, and stupid in your life to your advantage.
--- End quote ---
Legs McNeil droppin' truth bombs. That guy basically invented punk.
