Punk

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This 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.

by 'record' here i think i mean album! I like 'have you ever fallen in love (with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with)' and I believe that's a punk song? and I like some songs by the clash, and stuff, you know, the pop songs.

oh oh and I bought some dfa compilation a few years ago and put it in the record player to find that one of the cds, although it looked like what it was meant to be, was in fact 'never mind the bollocks'! it was the first time i had ever heard it and I turned it off pretty quickly because I wasn't in the mood, but kept it because I thought it was lulz.
