... tell me when they stop recycling the term... I first heard it use on Machine Head and Roots era Sepultura stuff.. now I'm pretty sure it stands for this sucks ass so don't even bother..

The Stooges were the beginning of EVERY awesome kind of heavy rock music. I wonder if Iggy would agree that the Stooges are definitively punk. Let's ask him. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5ho61yPXg[/youtube]
it seems iggy decided that journalists and detractors were cheapening the perception of the music by making it marketable or systematically categorizing a genre as worthless. that doesn't mean that he denies being punk. he just has a priority to put his principles on display while he has a soap box.
