Were the teenage anger went in the music?

[@ldrobarts]

Never got into punk, the hardcore stuff. I thought this was a fun interview though. I was looking for Sid. Punk seemed to me come back around early nineties with grunge, only not as talented.

@@jjanusch67 The response of the truly ignorant, try taking some basic civics and history classes, I am Gen X, unlike your generation, most of us were too smart to be brainwashed by the marxist teachers we had in school.

At a time when people realised they did not have to pay their dues, have a degree in music or a fleet of lorries to start a band. They just got up and did it, and encouraged even more to do it too. What was more important was expressing yourself and having ideas, having something to say rather than sitting on your bum all day. If they could not play they wrote, or found other creative avenues to channel that energy and frustration. People are too comfortable now. You don't know how privileged you are! Let's just say this country, the UK, would be a vastly different place had it never happened. It was almost inevitable. It was either that or war on the streets, political turmoil but with no music to comment on it. No "Ghost Town" no "White Riot." For that moment people became "woke" in the truest sense. The powers that be have been clamping down on it ever since!
