Have we salvaged a discussion with this thread?
I recall being a fresh-face amongst the late seventies & early eighties punk scene.
The worst epithet imaginable was to be called a sell-out.
Peoples liked what they heard & it became popular. Keeping it real does not mean
keeping it underground forever.
The only punks I know about these days that are still keeping it 'real'
are stuck in their same sophomoric rage....fatter ,older & stuck in time.
& I don't know if the libel thing is a big concern or not:
