The kids today watching Anti-Nowhere League, who were old when I was a kid.
When I was your age we didn’t have all the fancy pants and the American Apparels with the MP4s and the kids doing the hummana hummana and the hound dog with the hips gyrating and the marijuana cigarettes. We had punk.
I was recently working on a script with some 20-somethings and when I asked if they had any musical requests they said, “Yeah, anything but punk.” I involuntarily farted some old man tears and then made this, the greatest punk mix of all time for the kangaroo fuckers over at Modular because I was supposed to. It included this note…
“I’m listening to these songs right now from the perspective of a kid who’s used to mash ups and samples and over-the-top dance music and a lot of them sound kind of shitty. I mean, ‘Stand Strong, Stand Proud’ isn’t exactly catchy. It’s a racket. However, what you have to understand about punk is it was so much more than the music. We were obsessed. It was more like a cult. We fought skinheads regularly and talked about them way more than that. We lived in a big house together. We went to anarchist gatherings and argued about communism. We would die for each other (hence all the songs about unity). We would have listened to GBH and Discharge no matter what they sounded like. In fact, when I bought my first Crass record I listened to it on the wrong speed for weeks – and loved it. For better or for worse, punk was about fierce loyalty and if the music sounded good, that was just a bonus.”
