Consevative 'dark folk' or 'post-industrial post-apocalypse' music. "Warrors for the business elite". Stuff about economics over recycled Death In June guitar...

I have seen quite a few old friends, who were punk rockers, become incredibly straight and conservative, both with a c and a C. Well fuck them, they've become what we were against 25 years ago. No I don't have a punk hairdo or wear punk clothes, but I think I still keep to true tosome of the priciples.

I don't really consider myself 'punk' anymore, although maybe I still have 'punk' attitude perhaps... Of course the music I play and record is more subversive than what 'punk' is today, or in my opinion. All that sub-Ramones crap in today's 'scene' is like Lawrence Welk compared to something like Siouxsie and the Banshees in their prime.

I've always thought "punk" was rather conservative, "reactionary" even. (I mean the 70's mohawk / safetypin / leatherjacket "punk" style that is still popular today, not the 60's garage band Seeds/Stooges type.)
The Sex Pistols were nicking Chuck Berry licks exactly the same as the Stones were 15 years earlier -- what was "revolutionary" about that?
PiL was certainly a more "radical" group than the Pistols ever were, but I don't know that ya'd call PiL "punk". . . ?
