    I answer one of my most common comments: "If your channel is called The Punk Rock MBA, why don't you ever talk about punk?"
    * Why I believe that I DO talk a lot about classic punk and hardcore bands
    * Why I don't want to do phoned-in videos about Bad Brains, Black Flag or Cro-Mags
    * What artists I believe embody the spirit of punk (100 gecs)

      I like the current name but if you WERE to change it, I'd vote for just using your name. I feel like most people understand that the use of "punk" in the name is more about embracing that DIY culture and not so much punk music. People will always complain regardless of the channel name.

    • @dynamicphotography_
      @dynamicphotography_ 3 роки тому +1

      I would consider NOT changing the name of your channel. From my perspective, the "Punk Rock" is not the theme of the channel. Hopefully the theme evolves over time. The "Punk Rock" name is more of your personality interwoven into the evolving themes. Hope that makes sense. Cool video. 🙌

    I also like that you look at all this culture from the eyes of someone in their late 30's/early 40's. I think some of us from the punk/hardcore scenes as we grow older explore the extremes of other culture and music scenes. While I don't like every video you post, I understand where it's coming from, and I dig that you have these passions and information. And really, punk is a state of mind, not just a genre of music.

The way you describe your opinion and views on music is mostly accurate and entertaining at that. I think it’s great that you don’t reiterate facts about bands but rather give an in-depth view of how that band had an impact during a particular time based off of many different perspectives. Entertaining with a lot of food for thought what else could you ask for keep putting out great content brother!

      I don't know much about the punk realm, but I can tell you that in the metal realm basically every deathcore band was widely hated and considered "fake" or "poser death metal" and somehow magically by the mid 2010s it was widely accepted and considered a big, influential, and important part of the metal scene. Killswitch and BTBAM were "stupid scene bullshit" in 2000 and they were considered seminal metal bands by 2005.

Last time we hung out with him when he came to town he invited us into his tour camper, gave us free signed and personalized cds, fed us, and let us wait for the show backstage because it was so cold outside and he knows my boyfriend had just gotten out of the hospital at the time so he knew of his health ailments and was considerate! Once when my boyfriend called him up and told Jerry (ironically my boyfriend of 11 years is named Jerry too lol) I was going through a hard time with my mental health and Jerry sent me like 3 or 4 Misfits shirts, a hoodie and a signed poster of him with a letter to me on the back!
