It's now over twenty years since punk first pogoed its way into our
consciousness. "Punk Rock: So What?" brings together a new
generation of writers, journalists and scholars to provide the
first comprehensive assessment of punk and its place in popular
music history, culture and myth. Combining new research,
methodologies and exclusive interviews, "Punk Rock: So What?"
brings a fresh perspective to the analysis of punk culture, and
kicks over many of the established beliefs about the meaning of
punk.
"Punk Rock: So What?" re-situates punk in its historical context,
analyzing the possible origins of punk in the New York art scene
and Manchester clubs as well as in Malcolm McClaren's brain. The
contributors question whether punk deserves its reputation as an
anti-fascist, anti-sexist movement, challenging standard views of
punk prevalent since the 1970s, and discussing the role played by
such key figures as Johnny Rotten, Richard Hell, Viv Albertine and
Mark E. Smith.
Tracing punk's legacy in comics, literature, art and cinema as well
as music and fashion--from films such as "Sid and Nancy" and "The
Great" "Rock n' Roll Swindle" to the work of contemporary artists
such as Gavin Turk and Sarah Lucas--the contributors establish
that, if anything, punk was more culturally significant than anyone
has yet suggested.

Sabin, Mark Sinker.
