Yungblud on Why the World Needs Punk Rock and The Greatest Challenges Facing the Youth of Today

At 20 years old, Dominic Harrison, better know as Yungblud, feels like a part of a generation on the brink of a massive cultural paradigm shift fueled by the vigor of punk rock. Yungblud firmly believes in speaking your mind, being resistant and focusing on creating the world that he feels the youth of today have in mind for their future.
In this APTV exclusive, Yungblud feverishly dives into the greatest challenges facing his peers, divulges his biggest influences and chooses between lyrical immortals Bob Dylan and Joe Strummer.

@An idiot... Exactly, during segragation no less, it's a form a peacful rebellion. I mean, I've learned more about Rosa Parks since then and learned she was actually problematic in her own way, but she still did a brave thing as an act of rebelling against the government

Dom explaining Sky TV is everything 'you have to be rich to have it' Kinda true lol Also him at the end talking about Rosa Parks totally summed up the latest Doctor Who episode. Dom made a lot of good points.

[@jessie95934]

When he says that you have to be rich to have sky tv and i look at myself as a 13 year old from a non rich family and i think not always but true.

[@ariellemae9286]

I love him sm. I imagine a walk out with all the young people for gun bans and all that and yungblud and grandson doing concerts during that walk out for free

[@zhebebe]

maybe this is crazy insensitive but i wish i had the energy that people with adhd have. its so attractive and it makes time spent with them so much more interesting and fun. i wish i was that person but im very passive as a person and it even bores me. the only thing that saves my ass is making jokes but it's not nearly the amount of crazy energy i wish i had, it just makes me bearable.

[@zhebebe]

@@Noah-zm3jo i will never see a downside to energy or honesty, considering im not exactly known for discreet interactions. i think the actual downside is how difficult it is for people who have ADHD to focus on work, to grow up as a "crazy child", to stay calm in serious situations, to see doctors, etc. it's not a privilege, but the energy is just a wonderful plus

[@lancesmith7288]

I can't sit down. Everything is a blur . I can't do any homework. Yeah some papers make me mental in a good way. But the rest makes life terrible.

[@amie7148]

You won’t want adhd when you have to take a test and you have to read the question 20 times even though it still doesn’t sink and you end up crying in frustration because you just can’t fucking focus.

[@hazyrory3121]

Homicide Ella I might have more energy than most but it doesn’t feel like it because I kind of need the extra energy to process all of my racing thoughts that I can’t catch up to. You saw how Dom just ‘snapped’ as he said and started screaming the song. As adorable and hilarious as it was, doing that in public or in a quiet shop or in an inappropriate situation is not fun and can be super embarrassing. Yes I have more energy but it’s not like I can control what it goes in to really.

[@qualityseabunny5269]

I see what you mean its nice being the energetic friend and hoppin about! I struggle to look of the bright side of my adhd but this made my evening 💞 maybe im shit at tests and maybe i annoy people but my friends love me for being an energetic dumbass
