>Punk: An Aesthetic
How do I read this now for my project that is due in a couple days?
>(pic unrelated)
by saying that the punk aesthetic was manufactured by record labels to pander to the already dead punk scene that would become trendy.
and that the 'greatest punk bands' were actually just power pop bands and no-wave did punk better than any movement since.

a bit reductionist but more or less: this
>>8209165
Whether or not they were manufactured, Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Damned, et al. had some great fucking tunes.
>>8209165
no-wave was just a bunch of liberal art-school douchebags who appropriated the aggression and dissonance but weren't in touch with true any true non-conformist values, just regurgitating the same post-modern bullshit again and again
crust punk and nazi punk are the true champions of the scene
>>8209374
ramones had like 3 tunes and made 17 or something albums out of them
>>8210455
Hold on now, just off the top of me head I've got four.
Sheena is a Punk Rocker
Beat on the brat
Rockaway beach
Blitzkrieg Bop
Then they also did the best version of the oldschool Spiderman theme.
don't read all of it. just read pertinent chapters and pull out quotes.
>>8210455
