of punk bands, dressing “punk rock”, and are making social media accounts dedicated to this subculture. They are known as punks. Punks choose to be in this subculture because they listen to this genre of music. They are often part of the rock and metal subcultures too. Punk music started in the 1970’s. Many punks argue whether it was The Ramones or The Sex Pistols who started punk. Back then, if people just dressed like the punks did and listened to the music, but did not have the same beliefs…

I've been finding myself lying awake more and more recently, tossing and turning and tangling the blankets, unable to sleep. Getting into staring contests with the shadows pooled like ink in the edges of my room. Now, insomnia is a problem a lot of folks have, and I’m certainly no stranger to it. Stress, problems- kids, bills, the corrosive apathy of suburbia- they fester and rot in the recesses of my thoughts, and the sleeplessness lets itself in through the holes all that shit eats away. Just…

Who is Nirvana? Why are they important? In a society that demands conformity why did a group of high school dropouts draw the attention of the entire nation with this new form of musical expression that seemed to thrive on negative emotions and controversial ideas? These questions always seem to follow particularly rock musicians because of the topics and the visual impressions they use to express their views of the world. Their impact on the music industry has completely changed how some labels…

Mötley Crüe will wrap up their second Las Vegas residency at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Joint this weekend. The L.A. quartet’s plans after that are up in the air, but the end is nigh for the group.

Nikki Sixx confirms that while the timing is not set in stone, the band will at some point in the future set out for one last jaunt around the world as "brothers." As the group gets set to put Vegas behind them,…

began to burn, so I shut them. My hands grabbed at the belt around my waist. I felt it give, and I was suddenly free to drift in the infinite expanse of the shadowy ocean. Blindly, I swam up to feel around the upside down boat. I felt the smooth metal of the steering wheel, and the leathery cover of the pilot’s…

Their form of alternative rock incorporates sounds from funk, punk rock, rap, and metal that helped them gain popularity among the subcultures that were flourishing at the time in Los Angeles that later turned into international stardom. “A potent combination of L.A. skateboard cool, tattoos, thrash, and funk, the…

In the Blink of an Eye She is an enchantress. She is the thin crimson film of blood enveloping slashed wrists. She is a flame gone wild. She burns and she swallows. She is the agony of salt buried in a knife wound. She is the destructive madness of love and hatred. She is fire, for fire burns and it swallows. She is fire. She is fire, and her name is Red. I used to live like I was meant to. With a home and a mother, and affluence and wealth. My mother was happy, and I was not, simply because…

Timmy slowed his breathing. His knees dug into his chest, as he curled up in fetal position in the small dumbwaiter situated across from the kitchen, where Lynda was. Timmy held his breath, and peered through the hole in the dumbwaiter, looking directly at the kitchen door. He saw nothing; Lynda was nowhere to be seen. As if on cue, a hand punched through the drywall dumbwaiter wall and grabbed Timmy by the neck of his shirt, slamming his face against the dusty material. As Tim struggled to…

The people of this world lack many things but an open mind single handedly tops the list. I simply cannot stand close minded people that have obviously been brainwashed and programmed for generations to believe the most ridiculous ideas. What infuriates me more is fact that a few of these folks will enter positions of power varying from teaching to political office. Now with a massive set of listening ears can these pests spread or attempt to spread the most repulsive ideas and ways of life. The…
