the thing about getting into punk music is that you get into all these bands and you’re like “wow this sound is so cool and innovative” and then you listen to Raw Power and you just have to accept that the punk audio asthetic was perfected a whole 4 years before the movement even started
like, no disrespect to any punk band at all (i love you all), but it just doesn’t get better than Search and Destroy, sorry

youre not better than other people just because you listen to weird music

I’ve noticed that I’ve suddenly gained a load of followers on this blog (hello everybody), and I think that it would be unfair to act as if this blog is especially active. I used to use this blog a lot more than I do, and while I’m not entirely inactive on here, I am a lot more active on my main blog , if you are interested in following me on there for more frequent content than on this blog (which I frequently tend to abandon for periods of time) then you’re more than welcome to come and say hi
this is a typical kraftwerk situation containing typical kraftwerk boy playing typical kraftwerk instrument aka visual representation of last two brain cells
