punk is essential for music.

that's like saying "Who needs elementary school?!?!? PUT THE 4 YEAR OLDS IN COLLEGE!!!"

It's not the simple, and not everyone can pick up a guitar and do 2 hr tap solos. Punk is a great stepping stone and it's also a great place to come up with new ideas and throw them out there without having to spend 14 hrs perfecting a polyrhythm. That's the beauty of it.

I like hardcore because it was even more stripped down, putting the message above everything else. Look at old Negative Approach videos: All the kids are wearing sweatshirts, jeans, and other dumpy clothes. No one gave a shit, hardcore was for suburbanite losers with no tolerance for getting dumped on.

Though now you get bands with breakdowns saying they are hardcore, that's "new school" versus "old school". When people dump on HC, they should say "new school" or "nu-hardcore" or something. You can't fuck with the old school!

No symphony is without notes -- no music is without simplicity at its core.
