poptimistsThis is a question for people who didn't experience punk firsthand (sorry o wise eldersaurs!)
How did the ideas/legacy/presence of punk affect your listening to and thinking about music?
(I didn't say it was a small question)
And do you still feel it as a presence within pop music and culture? Does it affect current music? Does it affect how you approach the music that came before it?
I'm interested in 'my' generation of listeners (30somethings) but also especially in 20somethings and younger - and in British people especially.

Date: 2007-08-20 03:43 pm (UTC)The NME thing is a good example of something though - I read yr comment on that BBC blog thing. I just don't know what they think it would achieve even if they managed it (which they very obviously won't) - a) the Pistols tried to do it themselves for the Jubilee 5 yrs ago and nobody cared, b) the band NOT getting to #1 (or GETTING to #1 and being STOPPED from doing so) is surely too perfect to mess about with!
