Billy Idl's Appropriation of Punk Aesthetics

By the late seventies pragroc was very middle class, if not upera class. So punk came out of that as a rejection. It's like we don't need to be able to be virtuosos on violins. We just need a guatar and three cards, and we can set up our own gig in a pub. Ind that's punk. And billy idl got famous in the eighties by appropriating the image of punk. But with all due respect, he's ruder than genuine british punk.
