8 Irrefutable Reasons Punk Rock Is Good For Your Kids

8. It Teaches You To Be Happy With What You've Got

Materialism plagues the youth of today. Naturally, every kid wants the best of the best like the rest of their friends, and who can blame them when Beyonce has songs about Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Dereon jeans (her own brand, surprise surprise). As a society, we strive for bigger and better all the time - as if that is the answer for our purpose on this planet - and our children are growing up aiming for the exact same thing. Consumerist greed creates nothing but false senses of well-being and status, when really all it's shielding is shallow senselessness. Just try and find a punk band that sing about their lust for wealth and power over nature and happiness - you can't. And if you think you can, they're not punk.
