This song is FANTASTIC. It's totally awesome that Kathleen Hanna wrote a song about all the hypocrites who claim to be punk, when all they want is what punk is supposed to be fighting. Punk isn't thinking about YOU all the time, it's about changing the rules because you truly feel they're unfair! Her singing's fantastic, too. This is my favorite song on this album.
I've never heard punk described that way. I doubt many would come up with an identical description of punk and/or why they dress the part. I had black/blue spiked hair for a year in college and danced 3x weekly to punk and new wave music, but I couldn't have told you then (or even now) what the official definition of punk is. To me, it was (and still is) the act of immature rebellion. Real rebellion would not be forming just another clique; acting angry; and NOT voting for actual change. (Not that all 'punks' are apolitical, of course.)...

I found this on the web: "The British (punk) movement supposedly was started by one of the following: The ecnomic disaster that occured in the mid seventies, and the youth's lack of patience with the british government." So am I to surmise that the 'punk' movement here was more of a fashion statement than anything else??? (that's a serious question)
