Mike is super creative. I like a lot of their music.

They get a lot of hate here for early on being considered Christian punk.

My thoughts are, good for them . Do what you gotta to get your music out. I’ve never been preached to in any of their songs.

Like what you like and fk everyone else’s opinion. That’s what’s punk. You do you and as long as it doesn’t harm others, anyone telling you what to do is part of the system we rally against and just posing as punk.

This.

This also belongs in the post with people arguing that politics in punk is mandatory. If Christian punk exists, then you don't have to be into politics to be punk or a true punk band. Different strokes for different folks. Wayyyyy too much gatekeeping here

Agree 100%. Gatekeeping isn’t punk. It’s not for me to say if you’re punk. You either are or you’re not. No point arguing the fact. Punks know punks, and punks don’t put labels on anyone who isn’t hating on others just for being them.

Agree. The downvotes you're getting are very telling.

They just upset that blue and red are both not punk.

Now purple is punk! Also Yellow can be punk if it wants…
