I actually disagree with that. Punk rock has come a long way. I'd be
willing to bet that any given Wal-Mart will have some CDs that can be
classified as "punk rock", and if labels like Epitath aren't represented
there it's probably more a matter of lyrical content than anything else.
You've got me curious, now. Next time I'm in a Wal-Mart I'm going to
take a look and see what punk stuff, particularly indie punk stuff, is
available.
