People aren't really paying attention when they're listening to your record, so unless you're shouting exactly what you want them to hear, they don't pay attention.

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.

I know how absurd things can get. I've had years where I've had questionable things going on in my life.

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 is the "anti-anti": Someone comes up with something, then the next generation is against that, and then the next generation is against that, and then that thing becomes a problem. There's these layers of anti-, and so many of them are just so self-serving. It's not about larger freedom.

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