“…New punks are being attracted to the movement, but without having punk rock tendencies. As more and more people adopt the appearance of punk, they have less and less of an idea of its content. The critical message of Punk has a number of targets, including classism, sexism, racism and authoritarianism…when punks adopt the form or style without attention to the critical message of the punk movement, people assumptions about racism, sexism, classism, and authoritarianism remain unchallenged; the seeds of the punk movements own destruction are sown.”
