Haha! I used to love punk. I still like part of the aesthetic, the idea of just doing something with the skills and tools that you have or don’t have at your disposal. Like a camera phone. 😉
Don’t know whether this is a tad too much, but i found some interviews with ladies of punk in seventies’s LA. Perhaps you like this.
“Musealised” [does this word exist ? musealisieren, musealisiert in German] comes to mind.
Thanks for the link, Mago. I was more into the British side of it all but I remember well that it was a time when women were coming up a whole lot more at last. All women bands! Gasp!
I looked up ‘musealisieren’ and I got ‘museumised’, not a word I’ve ever heard used or even read, but I get the idea.
That’s the way of most things, to be mythologised and museumised, no? Memory is a strange thing.
Great take on both inspirations – yes, the punk idea was great, but like all things that are seen to be money-makers, they can get corrupted…”regrets, recriminations…if you had done this, it wouldn’t have cost me that…” (the tie in to Streetcar)
Syncopated Eyeball 
Hey, pretty cool and weird post!
One of my favourite images. 🙂
That’s really quite odd – it’s so like two of them simultaneously – Johnny and Marky. Brilliant image.
With a bit of a pinhead look thrown in for good measure. 🙂
I love this image, Ashley.
An intriguing post for sure!
Thanks so much, Karen. I really like the image, too. Much fiddling about with pinch and bulge tools and filters to get this.
Medieval monk’s mummy ? It reminds me of these dried brethren in Sicily.
But I understand it’s an “ode to the unknown punk”. The heart is interred in the cbgb’s loo, somehwere …

This one is scary (for real)!! My heart jumped when I saw this… And great music.
😀 Hahahaha!
Ps And I love that film clip too :))
It’s from a film well worth watching: Freaks by Todd Browning. From the 1930s.
I love old b&w movies!! I was the weird one that loved to watch really old movies even when I was a teenager. I will watch this one for sure!
Have you seen ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’? It’s one of my favourite movies. Marlon Brando.
Oh, D’oh! It says that on the top of the clip! Well, I just finished my Christmas shopping and I’m all hot and tired. And relieved! 😀
Un film culte pour moi , avec Elephant-man …
Oui, j’aime Elephant Man aussi.

The way of most things that become popular, I’d say. Sanitization and dilution of ideas and byebye initial spark.
Indeed
