Why Are Kids Not Into Punk Rock & How Can We Change That? Australian Band Fake News Speaks Up

If you have been to a punk rock show lately, you may have noticed something about the demographic of the crowd... it tends to be a lot older. So the question is... is punk rock failing to connect with the next generation?

We found an "all-around" punk band to explore this with, see what had changed, and get a better idea of how bands can help the younger generation find a home in Punk.

Nick from the Australian punk band Fake News joins the Chord Progression Podcast. This episode is one where we get into it about punk rock with

• Exploring the reasons why the next generation is not getting into punk, and why the new way of discovering music might be a cause of it.
• How punk rock came into Nick's life and inspired the rest of the band to pursue their dreams.
• Why it is important to have fun with band promotion in the social media age.
