Here's A Question For the TRUE Punkrockers.

R.John, this question is only for the true punk rockers. Your opinion is meaningless. I think the revolution began as a means of redressing grievances about unfair imperialistic taxation schemes by refusing to purchase real estate or maintain gainful employment. In this sense it was a bourgeoise revolution, as opposed to the proletarian revolution historians often portray it as. Eventually this led to stagnation in the markets which fostered a fertile breeding ground for the artistic expression of nihilistic despair. The first punk BAND, though, was definitely The Monks:
Not everything is about real estate you myopic twit.
ever heard of a band called THE FALL?
Yeah. They did it.
True, consumer confidence was also a factor. Punk is all about the Benjamins!
The economic crisis in England in the seventies -- that was the catalyst for punk rock.
What about the horticulture revoultion and the new restrictive use of hedgegrows to limit land use?
Don't forget Elvis Costello as the grand daddy of punk.
and by Elvis Costello i really mean Elton John.
You've all got your collective heads up your collective asses.
Clearly the answer is GREEN DAY!
In the 1980's the revolution WAS televised as the British punk scene blasted onto American airwaves led by such luminaries of the genre as the Human League, Duran Duran, Simply Red and The Thomson Twins! Punk rock was here to stay!
“Hot funk, cold punk, even if it's old junk, it's still rock and roll to me."
Punk was born from the three day work week, and it died during Bill Grundy's TV spot.
Thatcher merely kicked the corpse.
Punk is about coming together so we can decide for ourselves.
