I am going to attempt to tread *very* lightly here.
Do you know any punks Omar? I mean *punks*.
Not Greed Day or Jerk-Offspring garbage gen-X
fools, but punks.
They hate things. They want to bring it all down.
They want to build things up the way they see fit.
They have great ideas, wonderful plans, strong ideology.
They don't give a shit about anything.
Many of them drink too damn much.
A lot of them dont think beyond buying the next vinyl.
They fail to carry out their plans.
We understand technology and how to make it serve us.
And then we get things done.
