Punk is reactionary by nature. It basically started because a bunch of pissed off teens didn't have the attention span for prog rock, and formed a reactionary kind of music based on that.
I'm not saying that somewhere out there, there isn't a good punk band. I'm sure there is. I also dig the anti establishment angle of punk. But over all, it's not my thing.
Really, if we had the chance to switch it all around, I'd rather Marx/Engels had used some other word besides reactionary. Reactive is good for the common understanding of 'reactionary' though. I suppose their problem was that the reactionaries were reactive with a desire to return to status quo ante, hah. I wonder what the german word it is translated from... :thinkin-lenin:
"we replaced your uninteresting pretentious dogshit with music that is 2x more uninteresting pretentious dogshit" Is this what Adorno meant by negative dialectics?
Finding the roots of punk is like trying to herd cats. I am very into garage rock and Detroit rock, so I have an appreciation for the roots of punk. I don't know where they lose me, but where I pick it up again would make punk fans cringe. I like MXPX and old Green Day. That's kind of about it.

it's not "reactionary by nature" you square listen to the clash or something
Take it down a notch buddy. That was a pretty reactionary comment to prove that punks aren't reactionary
sorry I'm a little drunk lol
It's all good. I do it too

I’m going to be a semantics Stalin here but ‘reactionary’ doesn’t mean ‘one who reacts’ but ‘one who wants a return to status quo ante’.
You're right. What word are we looking for here?
I wish I could wave a magic wand and make "reactionary" mean what it sounds like it means.
Probably just reactive is the word (opposite of proactive)

It's weird when theory shows up in completely useless ways, and in something that is an arbitrary opinion like this
BMF never fails to miss
