The only REAL country music is one song from one concert I saw in one specific bar is Austin. Nothing else is authentic in my opinion.

Any opinions on whether full electric or hybrid vehicles are a better purchase in 2020? I’ve got a 09 Honda Civic that I’m looking to upgrade from and I’m looking to be cognizant of my carbon footprint. I really only drive on my work commute which is about 30 miles total. Seems like a matter of time before my Civic has its first semi major repair and I would rather get some value before having to sink a couple thousand into it.
When a movement has something closely resembling a manifesto (no long songs, no long solos, a break from the past), gatekeeping is inevitable and retreads of itself are what are beyond parody.
Maybe your idea of what punk rock was comes from the second generation “punks” or later?
All true classic rock ended with Styx - Kilroy Was Here, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Please don’t.
“Punk rock” (as it was stupidly called by the media) lasted from '76 to when the Pistols split up.
It was never supposed to be a lasting music form ffs, but a road to new music not dependent on the technical virtuosity and self-indulgence of prog.
(Of course, there have been punks throughout history)
Do you have another car to drive? If so, get a full electric for most things and use the other car for long trips.
If you don’t have access to another car, look at a plug in hybrid.
Yeah my wife has a 2016 SUV that we take on longer trips. Just want a more reliable/fun daily driver.
My friend has a Bolt that he likes a lot, and he’s owned a bunch of different electric and hybrid cars.
I like Hyundai’s too and was seriously considering the electric Kona.

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about the grandparents aspect. A few things about it, I’m not going to stay with them, and really Imm probably just going to stop by to say hi and drop off a gift for my granddad, who turned 99 two weeks ago. I brought up the concerns with my mom, and she was of the opinion that the lift it would bring them to see me was more than the risk.

You also have per capita case numbers that are a fraction of ours.

USA#1
India
Iran
Iraq
Indonesia
Australia
Egypt
Ukraine
Australia is probably super wrong, I have no idea how much of your country is uninhabitable wasteland.
5/8, not too shabby.
I’m gonna defend Jalfrezi here in that I think his experience was just purer than the rest of ours.
I’m guessing if I did a deep dive into the UK punk scene in that time his take would make a lot more sense.
Its kind of like in hip hop where the textbook “golden age” is 88-93 but there was also another period that was considered just as rich, I think it was 77-78.
This analogy makes me instinctively defend his stance even more since the correlations between punk rock/metal and hip hop are many and deep.
Except that hip hop was a new musIc genre broad and flexible enough to encompass different styles, while punk’s idea of being the most stripped down and basic form of rock was a reaction against what had gone before and paved the way for new wave etc.
Like Dada and art it was an attempt to destroy rock music that had become bourgeois and complacent, by taking it to its most extreme.
I cant imagine anyone who was around at the time listening to punk rock from the late 70s now (as enjoyable as it was then).
