PERHAPS ITS THE 'MOVEMENT' PART THAT BOTHERS, ONE NEEDS NAMES AND IMAGES LIKE ADDRESSES FOR RECOGNIZING, BUT KEEPING THE VALUE ON INDIVIDUALS - EACH MANIFESTING SPIRIT- SOME GIFTED. ISN'T IT ABOUT A QUALITY OF SPIRIT THAT COMES FROM INDIVIDUALITY AND THE PERSONAL, AVOIDING DANCING EXTERNAL 'MOVEMENTS' OVER OUR OWN?

Is that Neil Gaiman painting her chest and kissing her!?

[VivaLaShenanigans]

Punk has only developed into this "style" and fashion, particularly when given it's name. But it ORIGINALLY was just individuals. Nothing specific. Just. INDIVIDUALS. THAT is punk. But as soon as you think you're doing something punk, it becomes not "punk". That's the best way for it to be describe it. It's an abstract idea. Like authenticity.

As for the Green Day comment: STFU. Unless you take the time to learn about ANY band, your opinion is moot.

[VivaLaShenanigans]

Reading some of these comments...me thinkings some people don't get the point. Amanda Palmer is attached to this movement going on around New York and Boston-- "Anti-Social Music". This is pretty much cabaret punk. Me being an enormous fan of the 1920s and punk, it's only natural I love Amanda Palmer's style, and World/Inferno Friendship Society among other cabaret punk bands. Anywhoo, what I'm saying is that she is part of this movement.. she is purposely mixing cabaret-style with punk ideals.

the stage is bigger than before but the music is not underground and indie taste anymore ,the whistle sounds like a wrong freestyle ,really amanda i hope you can go back the feeling when you sing these old songs,a voice from China ~

The most original artist I have seen in years.

[pAnic20059]

it is extremely narrow. because ive learned over the years so many people try to be all objective about it. BUT IT IS NOT.

punk is a type of music, and a type of style.

and thats it. being so open about punk music insults me as a musician and as a huge fan of the genre

and i didnt say being in a band makes me an expert. im just saying, i do know what im talking about. NOT AN EXPERT. but i do know.

since punk rock is completely my life.
