I won't even go into the debate on who started punk
rock, but I love the Ramones:)

It can't last forever because things/times always
change. This era of Backstreet boys and Brittany
Spears will/has created a backlash in many people I
know across the country. Rebellion and non-conformity
are still out there in many forms, although you may
have to look deeper than what you're used to. Maybe
this generation is rebelling against the rebellers of
the previous generation by not rebelling(whoah,
confused yet? lol), but when this generation becomes
old enough to have their generati... I mean kids, I'm
sure that generation will find plenty to rebel against
lol. As for school, I'm staying in and even got
accepted to UC Irvine in California and quite happy
and excited to be going there.

Uh, why so much animosity as a teenager? I mean sure
there were things (even people) that I hated as a
teenager, but I don't hate everybody and everything
lol. Seriously though, rebellion doesn't die because
one celebrity dies. If that were true, rebellion would
have died off w/ either Hendrix, Joplin, Kerouac &
Co., James Dean, Bob Marley, Lenny Bruce, Tupac
Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., etc.. etc.. and that's just
in America. Also, this is the 21st century and of
course the in-coming generations are going to think,
act, and rebel/conform differently than current and
preceeding generations. Maybe you're just not with the
times lol j/k;)
