Punk Rock is not Punk Rock Anymore.
from Encyclopaedia Britannica:
PUNK also known as punk rock aggressive form of rock music that coalesced into an international (though predominantly Anglo-American) movement in 1975–80. Often politicized and full of vital energy beneath a sarcastic, hostile facade, punk spread as an ideology and an aesthetic approach, becoming an archetype of teen rebellion and alienation.

Punk Rock is not Punk Rock anymore.
Punk ideology has been co-opted and defanged by mass media.
Punk rock has become conventionalized and commercialized, and therefore is not actually punk rock.
All that's left of Punk are three powerchords and battalions of hot-topic attired idiots aspiring to a commodified and obsolete image without any actual rebellion left in it.
Punk Rock is not Punk Rock anymore.
We need the New Punk Rock to remind us how it used to be.
This Thursday Night at Niagara, The Antagonist Movement and Theory Events search for the New Punk Rock with a free night of outsider art and music, featuring performances by rising stars The High Class Elite, DC rockers Ra Ra Rasputin, guitar hero Tom Devaney as well as late night avant-garde DJ sets by East Village innovators It's Overture, 100 dBs and MC Ryan O'Neil. In the Antagonist's Ignite Gallery, Seth Joseph, Justin Sanz and Russ Spitkovsky will be showing an eyeball-shredding assortment of transgressive prints and engravings.
Niagara is at 7th Street and Avenue A. The action is downstairs and starts at 9pm. The New Punk Rock is free to the 21+ public.
