A community leads to a much stronger group, and a less elite, closed-minded sect. The idealism of the punk scene was to be take what was normal and toy with it. Not destroy it, but tinker with it and make it yours. And that is what we must strive for. The music the driving force, but the community has to work to make it happen.
Punk music is just the soundtrack for the revolution.
Listen to it and pay attention. And don't make your community out to be your enemies. That's what keeps me on. You can never lose faith in your community. Samuel Barker is Senior Editor.
