1. Don't call pat slop it makes me sad
2. It's weird to focus on "soft" and "corporate" since early folk punk was soft as baby shit and new stuff isn't like...really pop music. It's just shitty alt rock made by kids from the suburbs
got this zine from a kid tabling outside the venue at a Rent Strike show. saw him 20 minutes later dripping wet, asked him what happened, and he went “someone yelled at me over that zine and poured their pepsi bottle out on me”
anyways i finally read it and they were right
