According to the band, "Punk and hardcore has become co-opted into the mainstream of music. With the commodification of punk, the message of rebellion becomes diluted, its message is simply used as a selling tool and in turn becomes nothing more than a gesture of revolt. When style eclipses substance, punk defeats its own intent of rebellion. When image replaces action, punk is dead."
