The future of punk rock has nothing to do with guitars. Everything interesting that I've heard in years has been nearly all electronic.

There's definitely privilege in the upper classes, but as a whole, music can be enjoyed by anybody who can gather around a radio.

Even though it's an unpopular paradigm, wear your heart on your sleeve, and mean what you say. Believe in what you say, and there will be a time for that. Maybe that time hasn't come yet, but there will be a time for that.

We should self-examine and talk about things like our own white privilege and these phony senses of being an artist.

What we get in punk these days are layers of 'anti-', and so many of them are so self-serving. It's not about larger freedom.

As a band, it's just me trying to please my own basement-hardcore sensibilities that I grew up with. It's not actually the future of anything, it's totally nostalgia.

Punk is no longer a subculture or a counterculture in any way. It's totally just a small reflecting mirror for the same things that go on in larger culture.
