Punk, in its DIY culture incarnation, is not something that the general public needs to get, it's something it needs to be confronted by whenever the occasion arises. It's no wonder you have so many people who claim they have been touched by punk in God knows what decade of punk bands they prefer and how the experience changed their lives, but they only take the sensationalist aspects of it which you can trace to top ten bands like the Sex Pistols. It's the only aspect of punk they can get their head round to. Perhaps you are one of those people yourself and can't make it past the luminaries because deep down you don't have time for all the bands stuck in the background who may or may not be losers. You're truly a real punk if you don't have a problem with being a loser because you don't just make music to be part of a lineage known to the general public, so why bother with it?
