The Limit of politicalness in mainstreamed punk always had been reached<\/strong><\/p>\n

Punk should be its own clich\u00e9. If something goes beyond that, in terms of \u2026 yes, on what points actually? Let\u2019s say in terms of the claim of \u201cpolitical questioning of the systemic\u201d and the like \u2026 then it\u2019s something new.<\/p>\n

Punk was the thing that tried to swallow all these things out of a revolutionary claim, and which also confined all these things within a framework that today has clearly become visible as promoting stagnation.<\/p>\n

Punk will no longer promote many things that need to be promoted. It is therefore nonsensical \u2013 as important as punk may have been at a certain time, apart from the shortcomings in the time and in the movement itself, which people may now try to play down; and as important as approaches that were and can be included in it are \u2013 to present this movement as the ultimate and thus to push the still pressing issues of our time into the background, in front of the facades of a superficial gestural revolt. As a rule, the representatives of the movement themselves have not managed to do more than this.<\/p>\n

As already mentioned, there are approaches in the movement that each had different explosive qualities at the time, but the evolution of punk effectively ends at all the branches that are more than just branches in terms of content \u2013 as can be seen particularly in the case of animal rights punk \u2013 if the message(s) were ever meant seriously at all.<\/p>\n

Demanding animal rights without consequence or \u201cwith consequence after arbitrariness\u201d is perhaps punk for most punk-informed people today, but it is just the limit that could be reached in terms of explosive force in the matter, nothing more.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

The preservation of punk as an idea raises the question of a.) what are the agreements about the idea and what are the ideas that are being subordinated to those agreements and b.) what is the point of halting a process in order to uphold an idea, vague enough to mutate > into a clich\u00e9 and a way of cloaking consernative basics like a whole array of obvious normalized -isms, and vague enough that the idea tells itself to be an apex in revolutionariness, in spite of all of today\u2019s problems that won\u2019t get adressed out of the self-delusion of that having been enough of an human effort to revolt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
