There's always this dude who knows better what punk is. Well, he might not be wrong. But neither are you! Don't let any one tell you what punk should or shouldn't be - There's no "should" in Punk!

A melodic hardcore/ skate punk protest song agaist getekeeping and judgemental attitude in hardcore/punk scene. You can't even dress as a banana anymore, because some try hard feels offended.

Naked and the Dead - Let's Skate Together
You clock my jacket then check my shoes
Like that's the proof you've got to use
You scan my playlist then roll your eyes
As if taste comes with a disguise
You count my patches than rate my jeans
Pretend you know what freedom means
Your metrics keep telling me
Spermbirds' better than my Taylor Swift
Funny how a scene that's built on choice
Can get so loud with just one voice
Punk was always about you and me
Not some bullshit ideology
Punk was always you and me
What's true at heart for all to see
I'll keep my skateboard, thanks. Peace!
You paint your slogans right on the wall
Then build new boxes just as small
You curse the kings, reject the throne
Then crown new rulers of your own
Every banner claims it's free
Every answer is plain to see
You say you hate all dictatorships
Your Guevara T-shirt's about to disagree
No banner can tell me who to be
Freedom doesn't need a VIP
Punk was always about you and me
Not some bullshit ideology
Punk was always you and me
What's true at heart, for all to see
I'll keep my skateboard, thanks. Peace!
You judge her family, then judge his faith
Judge every step, each choice I make
You call it open, you call it free
As long as you can agree with me
Maybe you're louder in the queue
Maybe you've got more records too
You say you're more punk and it
might just be true
But I'm not one less, if I disagree with you
Different roads, and different dreams
No one is born between the seams
Maybe punk was never a war
Against the ones who wanted more
Maybe punk was finding out
What your own heart screams about
Not rebellion for its own sake
Not another badge to take
Just the courage to have every day
To choose your own god damn way
Punk was always about you and me
Not some bullshit ideology
Punk was always you and me
What's true at heart, for all to see
I'll keep my skateboard, thanks. Peace!
I'm not saying you're wrong
I'm not saying I'm right
Those are the things punk was never about!
Let's skate together!
Let's skate together!
Let's skate together!
Let's Skate together!
