"ohhhh, punk has been made too widely palatable and for everyone. REAL punks are like presbyterian minister mr rogers!" there are still hardcore bands out there! you can go see them if you want! i bet this person would listen to the ramones and go "umm, he wants to sniff glue? are we glorifying drug addiction now? this is SO not punk!"
there are people in the notes going "yeah! this is so true!"
i think this is part of a broader trend of people feeling to need to justify everything they enjoy, it can't just be a show they remember fondly from when they were a kid, it needs to be punk
Only in the sense that it's funny to think of Mr Rogers as a punk.
My point is that he'd probably have disagreed with "Conservatism is punk" chuds on the overwhelming majority of their ideology. Mr Rogers knew we could be better than that.
