80's Punks were the Tricksters of ancient mythology (eg. Coyote in amerindians culture), it always been the role of those at the margins of Society dealing with uncomfortable other realities, bringing liminal space into our collective consciousness. Punks are not dead, they (or more precisely their archetypal essence) have just shape shifted into another form we fail to recognize as we age while their prior shell have been consumed by mass media and commodification.
Chances are the future generation Punks are either that itch we can't quite name or out of our generational perception altogether.
- obscurette 3y agoIf you want a nerdy sci-fi take on it, then "The City and the Stars" by Arthur C. Clarke is the one to read.
