Others have mocked the efforts of punk by PRS disregarding any serious attempts at creating an alternative and perpetuating the myth that we are only in this for fashion and Wicks. Nobody believed punk would still be around over a decade later. Who would have thought of an evolution of punk into a formidable voice of opposition? Who would have imagined how Universal our cties for change would become? Yet we are here ‘now and thats undeniable. ‘We have survived criticism from all fronts.

These people are our oppressors; from those in the government to the perpetuators of the sterile manufactured Corporate hell. We are putting a stop to thie. We are learning from each other and taking inspiration through example. Even some of the seemingly small steps are in-effect giant leaps: we are creating our own alternatives.

Obviously the label “punkrock” has become archaic as'a universal label. We no longer need such a limiting term: Through the course of time we have become bonded by aititude - a common desire. The Point is that we still exist and struggle through the profane existence the best that we can: All boundaries aside, we are alone, but our strength is/great.
