Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing

history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime.

Before we get into the topic in hand, I would like to revisit the movie Forrest Gump,

specifically Forrest's shrimp boat buddy Benjamin Buford Blue, but you can just call him Bubba.

He knew all the ways one could serve up shrimp.

You can bovique it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it.

There's on shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried.

There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp.

Shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes,

shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.

That's about it.

What Bubba could do for shrimp, other people can do for punk.

Punk rock comes in as many different varieties as shrimp does.

Let's see, we got hardcore punk, ska punk, cyberpunk, synth punk, anarcho punk.

Then we got cow punk, gypsy punk, Christian punk, Celtic punk.

There's art punk, garage punk, glam punk, crust punk, horror punk, street punk, melodic punk,

afro punk, skate punk, Chicano punk, folk punk, and trawl punk, although I'm not really sure where that is.

There's also punk blues, punk

pathetic, punk metal, riot girl, queer core, rap core, straight edge, emo, and oi. And then we can

get into all sorts of subgenres. Just looking at hardcore punk, that includes bent edge, death

core, porno grind, screamo, power violence,

positive hardcore, nardcore, Nintendo core, and that's about all I know about that.
