You'd think the younger generation would come up with something new. Nothing will ever be as great (or counter culture) as the mid-70's punk scene in NYC. (I think I was born way to late)It was new, innovative, and totally counter culture. If you were a part of it you were truly an outcast. No one listend to the Ramones, the talking heads, the cramps, blondie, Patti smith, television, etc. until sometime in the 80's when coporate moguls realized there was a buck to be made. By the 80's bands like sex pistols, dead kennedys, black flag, plasmatics, dead boys, clash, U2, and countless others were taking it main stream. We are in need of something new guy, I'm so sick of the rap generation. BLAH BLAH!

I feel lucky to have lived in NY through part of the punk scene. I was actually a few years after, but did see Patti and the Talking Heads in the early days. I haven't thought of the Plasmatics in ages. And nice nod to Richard Hell and the Voidoids (with "I'm so sick of the rap/blank generation."
You were born late chick!! You and me we'd be rockin hard core back in the day! :) Punk shows are so freakin fun!! I love em. We should go to some...yo. word to ya motha
its interesting to me that "punk" is now so mainstream. its funny because its almost the polar opposite of why punk started in the first place.
