Have you ever thought about making music for the present instead of the past, future or some sort of stupid fantasy? Instead of writing music for the kings and queens that long dead, why not write music for the slaves? Or writing music about bullshit like fairies, knights, dragons or superheroes where your everyday's heroes are your own parents? Have you ever written your dearest music about your own loved ones?

I find two genres of music that define the present best: hip-hop and punk. And I'm not talking about Eminem shit rap or Linkin Park fakey. I'm talking about these and those.

Live for the reality, not the dream. Write music about what's real.
