The Mathology of Punk

Michael bracewell is the author of a recent book called souvenir. He describes punk as a magic mirror where people see only what they want to see. At the time, some people saw it just as a chance to have a fight and stir up trouble. Some people saw it as an engine of class warfare. Others saw it as a nehilistic expression of the emplosion of post ball modernity. Punk itself remains a byword for rebellious attitude.
