This is why people end up calling Donald Trump — a real estate tycoon — and Milo Yiannopoulos — a younger Rush Limbaugh with better hair — punk rock, because they’re crudely transgressing social boundaries and creating chaos in the process. But Nazi symbolism, semi-ironic misogyny, and nihilistic misanthropy are no longer meaningfully transgressive; in fact, they’ve been in perennial rotation for decades. We don’t look back on the birth of punk rock fondly just because it made people angry, but because it produced something the world had never seen.

Hey followers

When I got back home I found a message on the door Sweet Regina's gone to China crosslegged on the floor Of a burning jet that's smoothly flying: Burning airlines give you so much more How does she intend to live when she's in far Cathay? I somehow can't imagine her just planting rice all day Maybe she will do a bit of spying With micro-cameras hidden in her hair I guess Regina's on the plane, a Newsweek on her knees While miles below her the curlews call from strangely stunted trees The painted sage sits just as though he's flying; Regina's jet disturbs his wispy beard When you reach Kyoto send a postcard if you can And please convey my fond regards to Chih-Hao's girl Yu-Lan I heard a rumour they were getting married But someone left the papers in Japan Left them in Japan, left them in Japan...
