Cherie Currie Is Our Latest Reminder That Real Punk Rockers Don't Bend The Knee To Leftism

Every once in a while -- usually when the idiots from Green Day open their mouths -- a debate sparks on Twitter (probably on Reddit too, but who goes there?) about what it means to be 'punk rock.' A cadre of purple-haired Billy Joe Armstrong fanboys always start shouting, 'PUNK ROCK HATES CONSERVATIVES.

RRREEEEEEE.' Of course, usually, this comes from Gen Z, who have never actually seen a punk rock band in their lives, let alone been to a punk rock show.

So, today, I want to give a lesson to Gen Z.

Sorry, two lessons.

First, Green Day is not a punk band.

They never were.

They are a pop band who died their hair and they play fast, simple songs because they are not talented musicians.

That's not punk.

Nor is Rage Against the Machine.

Sorry to break it to you.
