I am reminded of one of the funniest things I ever read on
a music list. I was on some list or another and a couple
of geniuses started arguing about whether Green Day
were "real punk rock" or not, and someone piped
up that they were going to hibernate for 100 years, and if,
at that time, people were still arguing about whether so-and-so
were "really punk rock" or not, the world would finally
find out whether it was possible, in his words, "to bitch-slap
someone to death."
Simon Reynolds is right.
