“I don't miss anything ever. Because to me, missing something is like going backward a little bit. I don't miss being in a punk band. For me, 'SNL' is like... this is gonna sound overly dramatic, but... the way I am, it feels like I'm a soldier, so it was like, 'What do you want me to do? Put me anywhere. Do you want me to do these sketches? Great.'” WayWantFeelsLittlesBitsSoundMissingBandLittle BitSoldierDramaticWant MePunkYou Want MeSnlMissing SomethingDo You Want Me Author:Fred Armisen

“I've always thought that "punk" wasn't really a genre. My band started in Olympia where K Records was and K Records put out music that didn't sound super loud and aggressive. And yet they were punk because they were creating culture in their own community instead of taking their cue from MTV about what was real music and what was cool. It wasn't about a certain fashion. It was about your ideology, it was about creating a community and doing it on your own and not having to rely on, kinda, "The Man" to brand you and say that you were okay.” MenRealCertainCultureSoundCommunityRecordsFashionHe ManBandCreatingOkayIdeologyBrandsGenreLoudRelyAggressivePunkMtvReal Music Author:Kathleen Hanna
“My music doesn't really sound like punk music, it's acoustic. And it doesn't really sound like folk music 'cause I'm thrashing too hard and emoting a little too much for the sort of introspective, respectful, sort-of folk genre thing. I'm really into punk and folk as music that comes out of communities and is very genuine and very immediate and not commercial.” LittlesHardCausesSoundCommunityToo MuchFolksGenuineGenrePunkRespectfulIntrospectiveAcousticsFolk MusicPunk Music Author:Ani DiFranco
