As a 90s kid, there has always been a special place in my heart for punk rock. I grew up listening to a walkman that often spun Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, AFI, and Jimmy Eat World. Yet, somehow this is the first time I have heard of Acceptance. Colliding By Design displays the evolution of punk rock. To conform to modern listeners, punk rock seems to have driven itself away from the emo scene and more into the pop scene. Catchy choruses replace the blaring vocals of early punk music. There is still a touch of angst in the music, but it is a bit more subtle and less rebellious. Colliding By Design may not be considered as punk rock to many, but if you listen to more popular 90s musicians you will notice some similarities. Acceptance's newest album reminds us that punk rock is still alive, but has seemingly come-of-age with its main listeners. For these reasons, I cannot help but bang my head to this new album!
