is there a more tragic band?

It's unfortunate but hey that's part of what makes them special right. also how the fuck is Iggy the sole surviver? he should have died years ago

He sucked the life force out of Bowie

he did enough heroin to make himself invincible

good lord you're right, look at this maniac

punk peaked with the stooges, maybe rock as a whole

>James "The Cuck" Williamson

I need this explained

>tfw we missed our chance at a film adaptation of The Idiot starring Bowie as myshkin and Iggy as rogozhin
we live in the doomed timeline

i can't provide exact citations but aside from cashing in on his stooges creds after the fact, in Please Kill Me they talk about some shady shit he did and how it soured relations with the rest of the group

>Hero worshipping any "punk"
>American punk
>Americans
>Punk
HAHAHAHAHAHAH

...

>Burger can't discuss, only use shitposts
Punk is hypocritical corporate garbage. Middle class Americans eat it up to relieve the monotony of their bland existence because it's the closest they'll get to anything interesting

James > Ron

Ah the Keith Richards way

I wish there was more badass bands like the stooges

>corporate
Wanna know how I know you're 17

>Heh it's totes badass to be a destructive piece of shit kiddo
>Hard times are created by weak men heh heh
>Probably idolises cucky allin
Want to know how I know you've never heard punk

He certainly sucked something outta Bowie

oh wow big boy way to shut down the widdle kid!

...

... you don't know who the stooges are do you?

I've been listening to punk since before you were born and I can tell you once you grow up you see the scene for what it is: children playing rough

majority of punk: yes
the stooges really did something right with the ethos

While the corporate garbage idea is plausible post Malcolm Mclaren the Stooges kinda precede punk, by like 8 years...

By the way you should listen to the Stooges, 3 albums all fucking great. And a bunch of mostly shitly recorded live bootlegs that sound even more insane.

Okay so what punk do you listen to, sweetheart?

>Sweetheart
That's some good rhetoric
I listen to
>Rites of Spring
>Moss Icon
>Minor Threat
>Embrace
>Husker Du

I've never met someone who unironically uses that word that way who is a functioning adult.

This has gotta be bait

>HURR DURR ENTRY LEVEL
Not an argument

who said they were badass for self-destruction? they had attitude and balls to match, they were uncompromising personalities in an incredibly harsh and violently reactive scene. i find that personally impressive

it's completely relevant. you're attesting to some supreme knowledge of punk by seniority, but then all you have to show proves that you aren't very thorough in your understanding of punk at all

>hurr if you don't listen to Ethiopian punk from the 50s youre entry level

>he should have died years ago
Why? Everyone assumes he's spent his whole career as a heroin-addled degenerate, but Iggy's been clean way longer than he was ever a junkie. He pretty much got clean in Berlin and stayed that way while Bowie and other contemporaries spent the 80s coked out of their minds. He rightfully got a reputation for being fucked up in the early 70s, but he's a far more normal person than most people realize. Most rock musicians had way more chances to kill themselves than Iggy did.

that's a really deliberate abstraction of what i said

Disagreeing with me isn't very punk

disagreeing with faggots is the foundation of punk

>Faggots
That's extremely homophobic and not punk

I'M A STREET WALKING CHEETAH WITH A HEART FULL OF NAPALM

also buddy thats like, emotional hardcore man

kinda different from punk

He's right you know

it's scarcely homophobic at best
is it any less punk when iggy fucks with black guys?

Emotional hardcore came because punk was macho bullshit and the progenitors of the genre wanted to express their feelings

I'M A RUNAWAY SON OF THE NUCLEAR A-BOMB

I A M T H E W O R L D ' S F O R G O T T E N B O Y

THE ONE WHO SEARCHES AND DESTROYS

HONEY GOTTA HELP ME PLEASE

so what do you listen to then?

Its such a shame. I love Iggy, and I also love punk rock. You fucking idiots come here to think you're better because you like other forms of punkrock.

Fuck off, idiots

...

SOMEBODY GOTTA SAVE MY SOUL

BABY DETONATE FOR ME
