Also - and I don't know how much this has to do with Carmodism - there was the really irritating "unemployment causes punk rock" tendency in early "reporting" of the British punk movement. Maybe there is a connection, but to say that dole queues somehow caused or are reflected by, say, the Clash's "1977" and the Pistols' "Seventeen" and "Pretty Vacant" and such is to ignore the fact that those songs were following a lyrical template created in a college town in Michigan in 1969 ("It's 1969, okay?, all across the U.S.A./Another year for me and you/Another year with nothing to do") if not NYC 1966 ("Oh, Mama, can this really be the end/To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again").
