Movements are systems and systems kill.
Movements are expressions of the public will.
Punk became a movement ’cause we all felt lost,
But the leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost.1
Here to evoke a sense of the zombies that survived the death of punk according to Steve Ignorant and to assure the world the newer generations have a lot to say and are taking stage to say it! Punk’s Undead is an archive of conversations, stories, and ideas of the living punk scene and its adjacent players. I hope your curiosity motivates you to read the stories that my curiosity has motivated me to record.
1) “Punk is Dead” Crass, Feeding of the 5000, 1978
People are, inherently, a collection of memories; their own and those held by others. How do we understand people but through their stories? It’s a chance to learn about their lives, perspectives, experiences, and ideals that comprise them. I hope to record those I’m fortunate enough to hear for myself, and for you, to understand the endlessly interesting individuals that make up our community. Stories, to that end, are priceless; I hope to be able to extend them to anyone who wishes to listen.
