Crow T. Robot of MST3K: "These kids these days. with their loud music and hula hoops!"

Yoda: "Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering".

There's the difference between the shaved head and goatee poseurs of nu metal and rap metal and the true punks. The real punks had a sense of hope buried somewhere in the fury. The nu metal types sound like a bunch of pissy juvenille delinquents, or Shrub at last week's debate. All bile, no hope.

Listen to some of the old school punks and post-punks, such as the Undertones, the Skids (and their progeny, Big Country), the first three U2 albums, the Alarm, and you will see what I mean.
