Punk and Ska
What can I say? I like this music, and I like the scene. I like the fact that nobody cares how much my pants cost or how popular other people are. From my point of view, it's a music scene that doesn't care about superficial bullshit. Of course, there are some people who dwell on incredibly stupid issues, such as who is "punk" and who isn't, but really people, who gives a fuck?! I sure don't! I just want to enjoy the music and have fun.
One of the many things I like about the music and the scene is the fact that a lot of people are at least somewhat educated about political issues. There are so many people who aren't even the slightest bit aware of things going on in this world, and some people that aren't educated on the causes they do or do not support...it even happens in the punk/ska scene, though I'd say to a lesser extent.
Now, with this said, I've got some punk and ska links here...
