Cover art for Chickenshit Conformist lyrics by Dead Kennedys

Punk was never supposed to be a form of dress. When it first started out Punk was the music for the little guy(or girl :p), the poor working class that could truely see the flaws of society at the time and were rising up against the government and other things they belived to be wrong. Punk music was a very 'in-your-face' way to get the message across and be heard. Also, becasue many poor and working class seemed to be the only ones with these ideas of society they had always had a torn, wornm looking form of dress.

The irony is that punk was all about the clothing. Malcolm McLaren who put together the Sex Pistols did so to advertise his clothing shop in 1976, if memory is correct. \r\n\r\nTo be a pure punk, I conduct my affairs naked.\r\n\r\nWeeeeeeee!
