DGT LPNK

         I'd like to share my thoughts about phenomenon of the so-called degenerative London punks. Originally the word “punk” refers to decayed wood that smolders when ignited. The second meaning of the word characterizes a youngster who is considered to be inexperienced, insignificant, presumptuous, etc. And the third meaning date from the late 1970’s when a loud, fast style of rock music was taking place. The London punks reflected the confrontation of all that was in great demands (rock music, style of life, professionalism and so forth). The members of London punks deliberately offered a kind of offensive lyrics that expressed aggression against flourishing world. Their position was pasted by the sign on Jonny Rotten’s t-shirt, who was the leader of London punks, “I hate Pink Floyd”. Everything in their behavior (hair style, motley clothes, jargon, gloomy look, and the like) pointed to their desire to separate themselves from the rest of the world. They propagandized the losers’ ideology, primitivism and degeneration. The newspaper “New Musical Express” wrote that punks’ music was not really a type of music but it was degenerative chaos. The audience seemed not to see unprofessionalism of London punk’s performances and supported them with a storm of applause. TV show “Sex Pistol” in 1976 led to negative reaction of London newspapers and society. However there were many followers after that show and the number of London punks in England began growing rapidly. If one wants to get acquainted with London punks, he/she can go to Target Coupon and dig their records out. Nevertheless, London punks started to find some contacts with studios in order to record their music, to join hit-parades, but failed. Actually, they had to change their position to music and acknowledge their defeat. Producers demanded good music quality and perfect behavior. Thus, short degenerative epoch of London punks was finished and it was the time of “new wave”, which was the beginning of electronic devices, and computers. It should be noted that such music is also available in Target Coupon. Yet, the existence of London punks was challenging and no one ignore that. We can ponder over such phenomenon.
