Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: How come more punks don't follow 1977 punk rock credentials? The shortness and burst of the songs/fashion/pissed off attitude? I wasnt there in '77 but it's where the truth lays & where the sun sets at the end of the day. Respect it/don't forget it imho. A: Well aside from my personal conflict with the term, "Punk rock credentials," there's no true sound/attitude. Look at The Sex Pistols. "Never Mind the Bollocks" had more songs over 3minutes than under, a length that would probably be long even by modern punk style. As for the rest, it's a need to evolve and change. You can express outrage while taking a more mature, or thought out, route than a middle finger and leather jacket. That isn't to say that image or attitude didn't have its place in time but it doesn't mean it needs to be continued today. Part of respecting something is knowing when and why it was important. It would probably be more disrespectful to attempt to live that memory today, than to remember it in its time and place. But that's just my thought.
