A recent discovery of mine are "Sleaford Mods", a genre I like to call austerity punk.
When two people in their mid 50s complain about the cost of living, you know the system has completely and utterly failed us. I can only look with pity at the naive mass of people that still believe a better world is just an election away.
- Toenex 3y agoNever thought I would see the Sleaford Mods mentioned in a Hacker News thread. As a 50-something UK male I agree the world has gone a bit weird when the rallying cry for revolution is a well articulated by my peers as by the youth.

- sph 3y agoThey are an acquired taste, but I learned to appreciate how modern and punk their music feels. Not aimed at authority, like the 80s punk movement, but angry at how mediocre, mundane and unfulfilling our daily lives have become in the past 30 years. It's about time punk started to turn on the rat race. https://youtu.be/WhOmCYmEkvU?si=sRS9ga0-LbhCvb3g https://youtu.be/WhOmCYmEkvU?si=sRS9ga0-LbhCvb3g
