Are we American Idiots?

thats part of it, but it also has to do with time, and the old "rumor" effect. You know, somebodys says something like "Ians last show sucked cock, good thing I got stoned and spent most of the time in the bathroom" by the time it makes it around the circuit it enRAB up being told as "I went to a show, and saw Ian stoned and sucking cock in the bathroom"

Ahahah yeah I know what you mean. For a minute there I thought you were implying that punk started in DC.

Not punk, but straitedge did. DC also had a huge influence on the punk/hardcore scene in general. However when I think of the beginnings of "punk rock" the names that come to mind are MC5, Iggy, The Ramones, and such.

it's not supposed to be anti-bush, it's against the media
