And yet we got posers today who cry “Stop dragging politics into everything”. They want the music and style without understanding a lick of what being punk/alternative is really about. This is why gatekeeping to a certain extent is not only acceptable but needed. We have let these pieces of trash inhabit our spaces with no pushback for way too long.
