Punks hated hippies. To punks, hippies were privileged kids that could always go home and get bailed out. Punks were treated like scum and fought for what they believed in.
That’s new, because where l am, l understand neither punks nor hippies. I simply know that for hippies, sex and drugs were the order of life.
Punk life was more self destructive and art aligned. Politics, drugs, sex, art, poverty, and alienation made punk, at least in the early stages.
These are features of the Western World, which l would never understand.
If l say, “Poverty is the byproduct of capitalism,” does that make any sense to you ??
