Is this the year punk dies? Is it already dead? Stillborn perhaps? Comatose? Does the word "punk" actually mean anything beyond it's Merriam-Webster definition? The words we choose only mean what we want them to mean, so punk is whatever you think it is. Alive, dead, neither or both. Either way it's up to you to define it so put down your phone and get to it already we're waiting.
