Real Problems seem to stay true to the original spirit of punk, even though Mickey himself said very recently he hates punk. I don't think he hates any legendary music that came from the punk movement, rather I think he means he hates it as some contrived sort of thing or label that poses as some grand looming tower of social idealism, like as if any old loser can get a mohawk and piece of shit guitar and bitch about something stupid and think it's cool and call it 'punk'. To quote Mickey- "I'm in the scene and I hate it. There can be some really good music, but the very idea of punk turns me off. It's all such a load of shit. Really it's just a bunch of socially retarded losers with guitars, some phoney ideals and a chip on their shoulder." And he said further: "It's for man-children. Ask any girl that's ever dated a punk rocker." I hope if Mickey sees this (he technically has the link to this blog!) I hope he likes this little thingy I wrote, otherwise I guess he can punch me in the stomach or something the next time he sees me. Then I'll go "oof!" like some loser.
