On Instagram, Shell Shock founder and CEO Tyler Hoover rebuffed the bands ditching the festival, and those criticizing it, saying, “I’m here to tell you, you’re not punk, you’re not hardcore. You people, the people that are trolling and the people that are talking shit, you guys are the mentally ill portion of society. You guys are the ones that are manipulated.”

Historically reactionary genre, punk.

I vomited a little.

Like "Leader of Anonymous" or "President of the Anarchy Club".

Historically speaking Dictator was a more popular title for the leader of a republic, but President would be used for minor leadership roles like book clubs.
