You pay for this, but they give you that

[Herr Mullen]

Nothing wrong with British guys talking. You can enjoy the accents. Punk may not have had good music, but it was more what it represented to British youth; we'd all been happy, conformist nuclear families with our brand new dishwashers and television sets, short, neat hair listening to our father's talk of the war, and the hippies had failed in their ideals of peace, but with Punk came a new ideal of rebellion. Were were not going to be sent to war, we were not going to sit back and obey the government, and we sure as hell weren't going to be pasifisticly lovey-dovey like the hippies. We were going to rock, and we were going to shock.

And thus came about British Punk, with the Sex Pistols. God Save The Queen was banned by the government; thus was Punk. So outragous, so terrible, that the government didn't want us to hear it. Youths took to wearing Swashtikas to shock and protest against the government. Frankly, I find that particular bit quite wrong, but we had Rock Against Racism; a difining moment that lead Britiain to multiculturalism, and opening the way against intolerance to Indians, Pakistanis, Jamacans, Chinese, and Africans in the UK. We would not be the place we are without Rock Against Rasism and the Punk movement.

Also, it spawned the Goth movement. So, you can blame that on us, too.

But the music was over-rated, yes. Well done on spotting a celebrity.
