The Black Bloc is the New Punk Rock

As the music industry slowly kills itself worrying about file sharing, they've lost their core strength, the ability to generate youth culture. Music is no longer rebellion, the Black Bloc is rebellion. And since it no longer controls the distribution system the music industry is going to have a hard time bottling up the Black Bloc as a marketable product. They'll find a way of course to do it, but they're doomed to a far smaller role then they've ever played in the last 50 years of youth culture. So say bye to the industry and viva the Black Bloc!
