Why do i still like the music then? I liked it back then and i still like it now. I dont like modern punk i think it's shit. I dont like yanky punk, i think it's shit. I think what your really saying is 'i dont like it so it must be shit'. This has been mentioned already though so i wont go on. I play guitar, i play piano, i play harmonica, i play the banjo (hairy one too), i play the ukulele, i like classical music too. But i still like 70's UK punk an to me the music is 'not shit'.

Why? because conforming is the way to be these days. It's hip to be square. We didnt need no mobile phones nor mp3's. We didnt need computers . We had real lifegoing on all around us and that made us wake up and smell the coffee. Nowadays everyone seems happy if theyve got a internet connection and a trendy phone.

....& I'll merely say: I wholeheartedly agree with your last statement.
I started in a band when a four-track was a luxury- we all swapped instruments, played badly, it was more important to get the feel of a song down than a polished performance: A punk attitude.

Punk
means different things to different people. I have heard Blondie called Punk, but would disagree. I think the Ramones were the best punk band, but some would say they weren't punk at all.
It is interesting that the biggest UK 'face' of punk is now doing butter commercials though.
Edit: Had to listen to this now i mentioned them
