Therapy rock...uses the language of punk music to address and sometimes even attempt to assuage many adolescents powerful feelings of alienation and despair OR Mom, just give me a Pepsi, please.

1. Mikes analysis. 2. Steve Albinis piece is a rant against the music industry (and against certain bands/types of music). What is the substance of his critique. 3. Azzerad: first listen to some precursors (ST, SDRE, Nina). How does the notion of therapy rock fit in with punk as weve discussed it? How might it not fit? What seems to have happened to the punk rock community in Azzerads writing? 4. For Wednesday: read according to revised schedule; listen to Mica / Mission of Burma; Don't Believe The Hype / Public Enemy; House of Juju Queen / Janie Jones for Brads analysis.
