The kids are supposed to think shit is fucked and old people need to try something new. Even in good times they’ll think that, because that’s how humans are wired and why society keeps progressing, a constant stream of inexperienced people making mistakes because sometimes someone finds something that works better.
That is the complete opposite of “fuck it, there’s no point in trying”.
Absolutely nothing about punk has been defeatism, that’s is also the complete opposite.
What?!

I had my wires crossed on this one, my own connotation with the concept of doom is mingled with hope.
