YOUR QUESTION:

Lol, on your wikipedia page, one of the genres listed is punk rock. You’ve literally never played on a punk record in your entire life. Why do you think people are always so desperate to credit punk? Imagine anyone thinking that on the encyclopedia entry for your professional career as a bassist, one of the genres that you fall into as a bass player is PUNK.

MY ANSWER:

I appreciate how you seem to have the definitive call on what I’ve recorded in my entire life. Maybe it didn’t occur to you that you don’t know everything; that there is no way you could. That’s beside the point though. It’s called “street cred” to answer your question. It has a “real” quality that is visceral — not unlike pretty much everything else, but you know, it makes for good marketing I suppose. I have played lots of “punk” songs on stage in my life. My wikipedia page is painfully uninformed though. I don’t know who wrote that stuff.
