SPB: What is the most tiresome stereotype about punk rock?
I think for me the biggest stereotype about punk rock music is that it's simple music for with one core message of Anarchy, but it's so much more.
Punk rock is where people can get an education about the world, whether that be politics, history or ethics.
For every punk band still stuck in the past singing about Thatcher, there's another 10 new ones out there now talking about OUR time and being progressive and exciting, which is what the original punk movement was. There's so many subgenres of punk out there that embrace thrash, ska, pop, metal, dub, goth and a bunch more besides. In a way, it's the most inclusive of all the music genres. There's music for dancing, music for playing up, music to love to or hate to.
It's the greatest music in the world, the great uniter!!
