Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:
Q: Do you think it is hypocritical when people complain about punk singers playing acoustically seeing that most of them start playing music that way?
A: I wouldn't say it's hypocritical considering the people who are complaining about it aren't the actual artists. I think naive would be a better word for it. I also think that most folks who complain about it are only complaining to appear as if they have a different opinion from the popular opinion. Most people see punk rock as being different from everyone else so it's not punk to agree with what everyone else likes regardless if you like it or not.
Wait until everyone stops playing acoustic then you will hear people complaining about how more songs need to be stripped down and they're sick of hearing full bands.
People are weird.
