| My amusement at the whole thing transformed into sheer dismay when I started reading about the creation of emo/punk tolerance committees. Telehit invited special guests to participate in a televised roundtable on emo-ness. The media got all hot for talking about “warring urban tribes,” and suddenly kids who flatiron their hair and dance in front of the mirror to Avril Lavigne were at press conferences talking about discrimination, justice, and their “movement” against fascism. Um... What? While we always knew punks were full of shit for talking about politics, now 14-year-old kids are mobilizing for the right to wear Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirts and talk about feelings? Ugh. |
