did anyone see that documentary on pinoy punk a few nights ago on gma? it was very interesting. anyway, this thread isn't gonna be about that..................our whole punk thing ages ago when people were rambling on about punk's influences and pinoy punk and whatever! yun lang. 
I may agree on that note[pun intended]. Maybe it's someone who just thought it a very good topic, pero fell short when it cameto really digging in the nitty gritty, parang yung pelikula nung '80s na " The Punks starring Rey PJ Abellana and Leni Santos. It was made with just an iota of an idea of what Punk really is about and not much else. Meron pa ngang choreographed dancing sa movie. Tsk.
Pero Punk now is different from Punk when, let's say, '86-'89. Kung may nakaka-alala sa KATRINA'S, somewhere in Malate then. It was When Red Rocks and Club Dredd are still in it's infancy, Katrina's was the place we all go in all pristine and clean, and come out with running mascarra and spiky hair and beer stink lingering till the wee hours of the morning.
Music then was three-chord-rapid-progressions, ala-Ramones and The Clash. But the difference ends there. Punk still celebrates decadence, Independence, Angst, Lonelyness, Alienation and Want.
Ang reklamo ko lang ngayon, noon ako gumagawa ng sarili kong wrist band, spike bracelets, wsilver earrings.
Nowadays, nabibili pa sila sa prestigious malls.
Tsk.
