We undoubtedly live in pretty crappy version of cyberpunk. For already quite some time. Authoritarianism and techno-feudalism are on the rise. Cristo-fascism is blooming. Rights and freedoms are being taken from us every single day. Tech is transformed purely into means of data extraction, surveillance and control. However there does not seem to be any counter-culture forming, no music or art genres with strong messages rising up against all of this. Where is the punk of today?
subversive punk is still around. It's still politically leftist. Jeff Rosenstock and his fans are pretty anarchist in ethos. Go to one of his shows, you'll find a whole lot of messaging about solidarity, mutual aid, building better world, fuck the police, etc. His lyrics aren't always about politics but they have an anti authoritarian edge.
There's Infinity Knives x Brian Ennals who are mixing punk and hip hop in a very in your face political way and theyre GREAT.
Viagra boys are a pop punk who satirize the alt-right, especially in their album Cave World.
Mount Eerie is a noisy folk band that dabbles in some punk aesthetic -- their most recent albums contains themes of decolonization and anti-war.
Honningbarna just came out with an amazing record called Soft Spot that has some leftist political themes, but not as overt as the others. Amazing sound though. Maybe more Hardcore than punk.
There is no centralized counter culture because the media landscape is so different now. There's no radio to all listen to together. Communities are pretty isolated online. There are advantages and disadvantages. At the very least, decentralization of the counter culture prevents it from ever being squashed completely. On the other hand, decentralization makes it harder for people to see, and cause them to lose hope and feel alone. But as another said, you're here, aren't you?
I saw Jeff & Pup last month. Was such a blast to party with punks of all ages at that show. Even bought myself a nice Death Rosenstock shirt (yes, death), that has a nice "Fuck ICE" message on it.
I didn't know Jeff before that show but they were incredible. And Double Band was the best thing I've ever seen at a show ever. Love Jeff now and will see them any time
Did they do Tripple Band at your show at the very end as well with the opening act joining in with Double Band? Was a ton of fun.
The Phoenix show had Triple Band!
They sure did. They did Alanis Morriset and it was awesome. But seeing Jeff and Pup tossing microphones back and forth and be so in sync and having so much fun was legit the height of all.
me too lol. the shirt with the lego guy ? that's the one i got
Twinsies!
Thank you sir. Listening to Infinity Knives now.
awesome. that album is so sick. the lyrics have a shock factor that i really like. sometimes theyre straight up hilarious.
Can't have revolution without a civil war.
that is fundamentally untrue but i suppose you cant have a revolution without breaking some axiomatic eggs
LOL was just quoting their lyrics man
bahahahahah I was so confused. wait til you get to their line about kobe
I had no idea netanyahu was from Philadelphia until Infinity Knives told me on The Iron Wall
It would be nice if they used FunkWhale.
