punk anon here - i appreciate and i respect your response. i do understand what you were going with w/ the nuance answer - but i do also think it's worth examining what the purpose of divorcing a subculture from its roots (here being music) could serve. not to be all "words mean things" but 'punk' as a term often falls into the same loose usage as "revolutionary" where people use it to just basically mean the same as "worthwhile" but framing it as something political when it isn't. maybe I'm overreacting, but i feel like there's cultural damage being done by being flippant with these terms. (not necessarily saying you are but there are literally people calling taylor swift punk and your poll kinda frames it in a way where these people are right!)

Nah, I get where you're coming from too. Like the issue with that ship? If you take all the parts out of something how long is it before you can no longer call that thing the thing it started off as.

As someone who found a lot of his identity through punk music and the culture around the scene while I was estranged from my ethnic cultures, I think I'm a little more prone to letting folks in cause to me the community is a family of sorts.

But Jesus fuck Taylor Swift is not punk, you're right there. Not the music, not the style, and not the attitude. I wasn’t angling for that at all, but I 100% see how the phrasing would imply support for that kind of thinking. I've not run into anyone that daft so I didn't even think about that being a possible interpretation.

That makes a lot more sense to me as a specific argument though and in that case I agree with you. But I'd also consider that an incident of "The vibes are wrong".

I wanna say something like, "Taking care of one another and getting hyphy." But I feel like she's just going to ask what hyphy means.

I hate living here.

I got a message on POF that was just, "What's the meaning of life?" Which I thought was a cool intro message, but it turns out she's just religious. 🤢

I know that it’s been weeks since my Spotify wrapped but I thought it would be a good idea to talk about my top songs

first track: “Everything” is a Song by Lena Byrd Miles and Otis Kemp from the album Meet Me In Miami released on June 14, 2024. After traveling on tour together, Kemp was looking for someone to bring this song he had in his archives “to life”. Would you believe that the two completed the song over Facetime? Co-written by Otis, his colleague Candice, and his niece, this song affirms that when something is meant to be, it will be!

second track: “killing in the name “ rage against the machine. I already mentioned this in my previous post so I’m going to keep it slightly brief. Here’s some fun facts: On February 21, 1993, the BBC Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes accidentally played the uncensored version of the song on his Top 40 Countdown, leading to 138 complaints.Brookes was recording an advertisement for the following week's Top 40 Countdown while the song played. In November 2008, the song was played over the speakers in an Asdasupermarket in Preston, Lancashire, prompting complaints from customers. Asda issued an apology.

Oh and one more thing: remember the Christmas campaign for this song to be number one in the uk Christmas charts and it ended up being successful thus ending the X factor uk chart Christmas chart streak after four years? During BBC Radio 5 Live show the group performed an uncensored rendition of the song in mid-December 2009, despite the hosts asking them to censor the expletives.

Knowing this group, you know where this is going

During the crescendo of their performance, frontman Zack De La Rocha started out only singing "I won't do what you tell me", with a pause where he normally sings "fuck you", but after a few lines, he screamed the lyrics, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" repeatedly. Hosts Nicky Campbell and Shelagh Fogarty apologized afterwards

third track: Nobody but God is a gospel song by by Faith City Music and Tim Bowman, Jr. from their album Welcome to Faith City released on October 28, 2022. This hype up gospel track contains lyrics like about the importance of God and there’s nobody like Him:

Deliverer Healer He’s God Almighty Savior The Enemy Must Flee When I Call on His Name

Fourth track: "Not Like Us" is a diss track written and recorded by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released on May 4, 2024, through Interscope Records, amidst his feud with Canadian rapper Drake. It is Lamar's fifth installment in his series of diss tracks directed at Drake and it premiered less than 20 hours after his previous single, "Meet the Grahams".

Primarily produced by Mustard, with additional work from Sounwave and Sean Momberger, "Not Like Us" is a hyphy-influenced West Coast hip hop song composed of a prominent bassline with lively, synthesized strings and finger snaps. Lyrically, it continues the themes first introduced in "Meet the Grahams" by doubling down on allegations of Drake's pedophilia and sexual misconduct, (“certified loverboy, certified pedophile” ) while also criticizing his cultural identity and relationships with artists based in Atlanta, Georgia. (“You’re not a colleague, you’re a f***ing colonizer “)

Lamar first performed "Not Like Us" during The Pop Out: Ken & Friends, where he played the track five consecutive times. An accompanying music video, directed by Dave Free and Lamar, was released on American Independence Day.

The lyrics to "Not Like Us" were written solely by Lamar. It begins with him whispering "psst, I see dead people", a reference to The Sixth Sense (1999); he previously referenced the film on "Euphoria". Using various metaphors and allusions to his native Southern California, Lamar then dives into a barrage of attacks targeting Drake's alleged inappropriate sexual behavior with minors. His personal incidents with J. Cole, Lil Wayne and tennis player Serena Williams are also touched on. Lamar uses Drake's album Certified Lover Boy (2021) to label him and his OVO crew as "certified pedophiles". Specific targets were aimed at Chubbs, his head of security; PartyNextDoor, the first artist he signed; and Baka Not Nice, who was charged with six human trafficking offenses in 2014.

Lamar also takes several opportunities to challenge Drake's cultural identity. The chorus of "Not Like Us" has alluded to him stating that "rap practitioners" such as Drake are unlike his caliber, "one that organically abides by the given morals of Black culture". Lamar further suggests that Drake's portrayal of Blackness likens him to Brad "B-Rad G" Gluckman from the film Malibu's Most Wanted(2003). In the third verse, Lamar flips Drake's comment about how he raps like he is about to "get the slaves freed" in "Family Matters" to not only claim that he misused the term "slave", but to also accuse him of exploiting Black artists from Atlanta for street credibility and financial gain. He uses his previous collaborations with Future, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Quavo and 2 Chainzas examples of him forming "calculated strategies" over "authentic connections"—actions Lamar considers to be a form of colonization.

This song was praised for its contagious production, Lamar's vocal performance, and scathing songwriting. Due to its call and response lyrics, hyphy beat and anthemic nature, this song also became popular in sports, concerts, awards shows, and this years presidential election more specifically for the Democratic Party and during during Kamala Harris campaign for president as a form of a diss towards republican candidate (and winner of the election) Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party who supported him. Nevertheless it’s a song of the summer and the year for a reason

Fifth track: "Back in Blood" is a song by American rapper Pooh Shiestyfeaturing fellow American rapper Lil Durk. It was released through Atlantic Records and 1017 Records on November 5, 2020, as the lead single from the former's debut mixtape, Shiesty Season (2021), and two days before his twenty-first birthday.

With its sinister piano beat and violent lyrics about seeking revenge through violence , it’s become an iconic hit with lil durk verse being the most memorable part of the song. “You can’t come back to your hood, huh? (Nope)” - this line May be a chief keef diss. In a prior song, All these n***** with late rapper King Von, Lil durk recites “You can’t even go to your hood” as a sneak diss to chief keef as Keef was robbed in his own hood for not giving back to them.

“He was dissin’ on my cousin, now his a** all in that wood, huh? (Boom, boom, boom)”- Lil Durk presumably refers to MUBU Krump, a fellow rapper from his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. MUBU was disrespecting(“dissing”) Durk’s cousin and fellow labelmate, OTF Nunu, who tragically got shot and passed away in May 2014. Using the theory of karma, MUBU’s actions backfired at him later and he also died in May 2018 from a shootout.(in other words in lil durk cases, mubu messed around and found out.)

Book his a**, I wish he would come (P***y) V. Roy pop up out that cut with that new Glock, I wish he would run (Grrah, grrah-grrah)- “V. Roy” is a well-known alias of Lil Durk’s longtime friend and fellow labelmate King Von, who is also from his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. The rapper was known for keeping a weapon with him at all times. This is because the place is known for its extremely high rate of killings and gang violence.

Pretty brutal lyrics that take no prisoners. And let’s not forget this line “Pooh Shiesty, that’s my dawg, but Pooh, you know I’m really shiesty (My n***)-“Shiesty” is another word for greedy or disrespectful. Durk shows that he relates to Shiesty by identifying with his name and the meaning behind it. Following the release of “Back in Blood,” this line became a viral sound on TikTok, with many users creating their own videos to the track.
