I mean wifi is literally everywhere and you can get stuff delivered anywhere. Everyone has different priorities and if you can't cook I guess going to nice restaurants becomes as important as not owning anything. I'm a huge Dead Kennedys fan but not a huge big city fan and I've lived in both in different states and would like a 30 min ride to the store vs witnessing manufactured human suffering and the need to keep up with the Joneses but that's just me. The Jones' are going to be the Jones' and they don't give a fuck if you keep up. Find what makes you happy and fuck everyone else. I love the Dead Kennedys though. I just think you're right here in the sense where there's a lot of Malibus Most Wanted flirting with the right for likes. I am of the mind that the ones who are supremeists/socialists need to go back and hang out with the commies, I hated skin head punks then and do now and the way those racist fucks get plugged in with the right when they don't belong is humorous to me. Fuck what color your stupid skin bag is but if you care what mine is then ima let you know why you suck and that's sad is my attitude. That's just me though. I also tell people to unfollow and unsub n gtfoh with zero fucks given and absolutely no need for clout or attention to it usually. Who fucking cares. Just be your authentic self. Remember nobody puts baby in a corner, adjust your crown and say fuck it all. ❤️😁🎶
Gotta love this song as both punk and politics. Jello seemed out there with a lot of his output but it has really held up over the years. “I am the Owl” from his LARD days, for example.
“In ten years or so we’ll leak the truth. But by then, it’s only so much paper.”
Sorry but again it all sucks. Downtown San Francisco is such a shooting gallery that it is getting increasingly vacant, even the criminals are afraid of downtown. But no my rural conservative area isn't doing better, I just had to call the Forest Service on meth campers, and the amount of litter is going up fast in the last year. America is legit dying like the Roman Empire did. IMO people in rural areas actually have a better shot of survival as you can grow a garden, and hunt and fish. After the Rome died died the aristocracy moved out to the country to set up vilias. This in turn was the mode of social organization of Europe up through the 16th century.
Point is, it's counter productive to pit regions against each other, it isn't useful. IMO that rural villa vision is far more compelling in many ways than some transhumanist dystopia. Blade Runner and Neuromancer were written as dystopias, William Gibson at least at the time was a luddite, and wrote Neueomnacer on a manual typewriter.
What is useful IMO is what you are talking about earlier about things like pop up speak easys. Far more compelling then some MSM desired red v.s. blue war. Let's imagine how we can make a good life in the ruins of America, compliance with the Borg equals soul death.
This isn't anything related to the MSM or red v.s. blue. It's just a parody remix of a Dead Kennedys song about scenesters who have never experienced life in a red state who talk a big game. It isn't meant to be a serious piece. Also, technology isn't all dystopian.
It depends on whether the tech enhances your experience of the world, or wraps you in maya. I of course think there is use for sound systems, easily communicated words, images, and sounds, 3D printing, etc. But it has to balanced as you yourself pointed out with micro community curated spontaneous real life happenings, and with IMO wild areas for people to visit to renew their connection to primordial nature. Without these things it degenerates into a "meta-verse," Philp K. Dick nightmare WEF police state, where people escape the horror of their actual lives into a cheap commodified VR simulacra hellscpape. I will always walk away from that hellscape no matter how many CBDC Kamala bucks they magick into my account.
There could potentially be a really cool VR simulation at a pop-up event for creative people to meet up and exchange ideas, start companies, etc. The sky is the limit. Never dismiss anything simply for being technology. Rather, look at everything for its individual possibilities and see how far you can go.
Gotta go the extra mile for the real event. Remember Survival Research Laboratories? The point of their robot fights was being there, it was dangerous, that danger is fully missing in a VR pixelate recreation.
I knew we had a lot in common! We've both shared a similar journey from youth to adulthood. It helps to know people like me are still walking this earth. You get it.
I remember the laces thing. I got white knee-high docs and put pink laces on them as some kind of anti-tribalist statement. I was a weirdo ultra-individualist chick. I still think it's funny that people can't tell the difference between nazi, SHARP, and trad. (the skinhead version holy shit I feel old)
Way too many stories to know where to begin. A small press published a memoir of my life during this period, but I'm too modest to promote it at this point since it's so brutal. Most of my real punk friends are dead.
Try that in a smol town
Yes. Everyone needs a nice hot dose of reality.
Can’t tell if this is positive or negative, but I like it. Points for making verses that scan correctly.
Neither. I always just tell it like it is, without a slant.
Verses must always scan correctly. ;)

That’s the true punk rock spirit. Always appreciate your heartfelt honesty and confrontational tone.
This is why I moved to Brooklyn

i LOVE this! Better than the original!
Someone who remembers then and gets it now!
Pssst, America pretty much sucks everywhere now, that's what dying empires look like, and why people seek false transcendence through simulacra.
Blue state reactionary scenesters especially need to see the other part of America, though. They wouldn’t last there for a day.

I tried staying true to his format. He’s welcome to use it for a new version.
