Music genres and their assimilation

"For me, like, punk music or whatever is always about, you know, undercutting people's expectations and throwing, like, a spin in the works or whatever, and for me--I mean, I want this band to be--I mean, if this is unsettling people, I'm ready to really unsettle people, because I'm ready to, you know, I want the sound to always be moving and to be like... I--anything starts getting set, I start getting uncomfortable, because I feel like what happened with hardcore or whatever was that things get so ritualized they became--they're no longer powerful, they lose their power, they're not dangerous anymore, they don't excite people, they don't move people anymore. They just become some kind of a traditional thing which people can just, you know, slip on the clothes and slip on an attitude. But for me it's, like, it has to always constantly be moving forward and, like, have some kind of a time thing/dimension to it."

Exactly what happens with every fucking genre. Motherfuckers hop along, think its cool to make this sound, reproduce the sound sans the emotional drive, and fuck it up for the genuine fans of music who just want something to listen to.
