I liked punk because frankly it was much better music than anything being offered up on the radio
It's a pity the subculture decided to become gay and lame. It was cool and masculine for a bit but they went all in on gay lefty stuff.

Hey, this is Henry Rollins.
I was in a band in the eighties that everybody says they like but they don't actually listen to. I'm a vegan, man! Can you handle this?! Brace yourself, because I'm about to beat you down with my basic bitch political opinions stated with a determined intensity. You won't be able to handle my conventional majority views stated monotonously over some bland hardcore guitar riffs. See, I'm a punk rocker, but I'm old now... old and wise! Being older means I'm smarter even though none of my positions have changed since I was an edgy teenager. Can you deal with that, America?!
I think masculinity is dumb. That's why I make tough guy faces and lift weights and stuff. I'll kick your ass if you like masculinity! I regularly donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center. I really hate southern poverty. Hopefully we can wipe it out one day. See, I'm a white guy, but I can't STAND white guys. This is a brave, bold statement I shouldn't be making, I might lose friends and social capital for saying it. Sorry if that bursts your bubble, honky, but that's just how it's gonna be.

Bkack Flag has outstanding stuff musically. They also got harassed and cancelled non-stop by both (((Hollywood))) big shots and authorities for refusing to sell out and for organizing massive concerts. Gregg was a political and musical genius. Henry had (and probably still has) all that you could ask from a frontman, and his later projects like Rollins Band and spoken word remain true to his ideology. You can cherrypick and find cringy stuff or whatever to criticize them for, mostly stylistically, but at least they never sold out.

What is their ideology? Basic leftism?

People like him were like today's influencers. His real job was to promote everything Jews say is great. They want to catch everyone so they have people to appeal to every niche.

>Rollins was born Henry Lawrence Garfield in Washington, D.C., on February 13, 1961, the only child of Iris and Paul Garfield.[2][3][4][5] His mother is of Irish descent,[6] and his father was from a Jewish family.[7] Rollins's paternal great-grandfather, Henach Luban, fled to the U.S. from Rēzekne, Latvia (then part of the Russian Empire), and changed his first name to Henry.[8]

Yeah he is autistically honest. Probably why his spoken word works. Unlike everyone else in showbiz he can be relied on to tell stories honestly and in a non self aggrandizing way, always keeping his perspective as the weirdo alien outsider rather than the star of the show.

Can someone give me a quick QRD run down of this meme? I vaguely remember this documentary/interview bit but I don't really want to suffer through the whole thing again just to get a minor nasal exhale out of it

You liked punk because you're a fucking faggot. The entire punchline of punk was always that it was gay, socialist, faux-anarchist but actually tyrannical little shitheels.

No, early on it was not entirely gay. There were masculine, nationalist, racist etc strains of punk. The lefty strain just eventually took over. It was a spirited, energetic type of music. It was easy to get drawn it by that and not think too much about the politics.

You're probably a fucking closeted faggot that listens to Morgan Wallen or other pop country shit and posts instas of your epic manly meal(Eggs, Guac, Steak MEDIUM RARE) on a cutting board with your faggot dildo gun on the side and of course of glass of whiskey because MANLY MEN drink WHISKEY for dinner!

he recorded many spoken word albums during his career, even with Black Flag.
And many Rollins Band's songs are basically like this, Henry ranting over guitar riffs.

dude, that's an old as fuck copypasta.
