Punk like purity? Grunge rap? Imma like this girl about to get the kicks to the face about this one.

This is just pure cringe to me. Neck tattoos, double cup with a blunt, eating fast food, wearing a Nirvana T and engaging in conspicuous over consumption? Yuck. You're trying too hard boys. This comes off as very contrived and not as natural. Un punk. Un grunge.

Meh. But what do I know. I think Lill Yachty sucks too. I'm too old for this shit apparently.

Sidebar: Lil Yachty does suck. But on his first mixtape and the Broccoli feature, he was just a kid having fun, and there's something appealing about someone that makes fun music and doesn't care if it kinda sucks. That's why Teenage Emotions flopped-- he was trying way too hard, and still sucked. It was over-commercialized garbage.

Punk rock rap, oxymoron?

I don't think the author knows anything about punk, maybe his anchor is Green Day?
