Chaos and Disorder

Chaos and Disorder.

The Offmen were rooted in punk rock because we were all punks ourselves. This is where Scott hopefully chimes in and adds a picture or two of some of us. WE all didn’t look the punk imagine but we were punks. Our outlook was punk, our political principles were punk: we were punks. Our music was punk. Okay, maybe not pure punk, but it has its roots in the movement. We were industrial music lovers, hardcore lovers and punk lovers too.

I think though, more than anything, we were ingrained in punk rock because we were punks at heart. Even though we had a reach for the sky outlook on most things, at the same time, our attitude was shitty and very downtrodden. We were hard workers, maybe not all of us in the sense where we all held jobs, but we were hard workers at being what we were. We were hard workers in the purest sense. We just would not give in or sell ourselves short and that made us punk rock the most.

Hell, I will step out on a ledge here and say we are still all old school punk rockers. You wanna know why? Because in this day and age, being rebellious and being a punk rocker is holding down a 40 plus hour work week, being parents and being responsible.

That is punk fucking rock today. So yeah, piss off, we are punk rock.
