Punks = Hippies + Violence??? (rock, goth, quote, 60s, Hang)

phoenixflames · 05-31-2005, 10:09 AM

One time a guy told me that punks are just Hippies with violence and no peace. It seems to make sense. I don't really consider myself a punk (I just listen to the music), so I don't know if that is a valid point or not.

I just thought I would throw this out there for people to think about and discuss. I'm sure some of you have heard it before. Nothing is ever new or original.

I think that maybe it was more like a violent attitude, not just physical violence (although I think that plays a big part too).

They`re all teen fads in the end

^ While that is at least in part true, I think you will find that at least some portion of the constiuency of both groups are adults, and treat it as more than a fad.

Yeah but you could say that about anybody , my Dad used to be a teddy boy in the early 60s when he was a teen . He still does his hair the same way & listens to Buddy Holly.

And this changes what exactly?

It doesn`t change anything.

All i`m saying is that punks & hippies are not the only teen fad to survive. Just because a fad isn`t in vogue at a particular moment in time doesn`t mean it doesn`t exist.

There were hardly any punks in the late 80s , it was considered dead & buried at that time. The same with hippies , they were ridiculed like mad from the moment punk broke until the whole baggy thing started in the early 90s .It was all goths & ravers in the 80s with a few mods , soul boys & skinheads thrown in.
