Once a punk, Forever a punk, Till you die!
PUNK-er than I you die!

Leurs racines dans la fange du ruisseau – c’est la
faute à Rousseau – explique aussi leur engagement très fort dans
l’antimilitarisme contre toutes les guerres sur le principe que l’armée est
inutile par définition et que les armes sont des outils d’oppression et de rien
d’autre. Un livre essentiel si on veut comprendre que l’idéologie de la
jeunesse passe pour une bonne part par ses musiques. Mais une grande naïveté
dans ce mouvement car les majors de l’industrie des loisirs ont vite compris
que les CDs, les fringues et les produits « d’entretien » pour
maintenir son look sont un marché juteux.

Their
deeply rooted vision in the dirt and misery of some working-class lumpenproletariat
explains their opposition first of all to the government, the police, the state
and they became political anarchists advocating the uselessness of such
institutions to enable people to live in peace and quiet, provided these people
accepted to share responsibilities, means and objectives : self-government
became their motto. They opposed any war and even the army as useless, ruthless
and dangerous. They became total pacifists.

they
advocated, most of them, non violence. They fought against any kind of
discrimination : racism, sexism, homophobia, agism, and many others. Female
groups became very popular and visible on the punk stage. They also got
involved in the ecological movement. But they seem to forget, or neglect, the
fact that they have been very fast recuperated by the major labels, by the
media even, because young people are a market and CDs or clothing or beauty
products are highly profitable.
