However, with the internet becoming such a creative force, the alternative to alternative has become more than a joke. With the advent of the internet, new genres are birthed and begin to gain popularity daily, most without any trace of a record label to their names. The term “Indie used to mean without a record deal, all by themselves”, but was…

It's important to highlight CM Punk as part of the pro wrestling context at the time. That way, you'll see how he raised the bar. And it's needless to say he had his work cut out for him. The year was 2006, so not that long ago. And mainstream pro wrestling was stuck in an awkward transitional period. WWE was shifting towards a more PG product.

After I found my identity in this alternative subculture, my every day experienced changed. I went from just another face in a crowd to constantly standing apart from the group.

The so called “press”, as it once was known as, no longer exists today in the same capacity. “The press” refers to the information gained from newspapers, for it was printed on the printing press. However, since today we gather information from so many different sources that it does not make sense to call it simply “the press” anymore.
