Metapunks.

Today I found out that my Metaphysics teacher was the lead singer in a punk rock band in the early 90's named BlueKid. He described themselves as "stripped down, pounding punk". Their most popular song was titled "Mall Punk Love". He told us all he used to be cool.

I asked him, "Like Henry Rollins cool?".

He said he never thought Henry Rollins was cool, especially his recent career, which included a lot of spoken word and reality T.V. shows.

A kid who sits in front of me, who has his lip pierced said "Who is Henry Rollins?".

I exclaimed, "Are you serious?!" in front of the whole class.
