Here’s an excerpt:

“AMP is about music and so I chose an issue that’s assailing the “scene” right now. I see a lot of talk about this “Crunkcore” wave, and it’d be really easy to run my mouth (or, I suppose, fingers) about these bands and this “genre.” There are plenty of things to attack, but honestly, it’s time someone gave credit where credit is due. These kids figured it out. I can picture it now. Four kids are sitting in a room talking about how dope it would be to be in a band, but, oh no, there’s a problem; none of them play instruments or can sing. Now, most people would say “fuck it,” crack open a PBR or something and keep playing x-box, but a few groups of brave young men and women said to the world, “No! No, I will not just walk away. I will not adhere to the logical concept that making music requires musical talent. I will find a way!”
