Present day scenes?[edit]

How about a section detailing the present day (2010s) punk scenes in various parts of the world?

For example with regard to the United Kingdom you could mention the circuit of festivals such as Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, Nice 'N Sleazy in Morecambe, Undercover, Another Winter Of Discontent (AWOD) and its offshoot AWOD North. Important specialist promoters would include London Calling in London, Punks Alive in Birmingham, IndigoBravo in Manchester, Cult13 in Southend, Sickdog in Cambridge etc, while important London venues have included the now defunct 12 Bar Club and successors such as Tottenham's T-Chances and Notting Hill's Mau Mau Bar, with other important venues outside London including the Maze in Nottingham, the Hairy Dog in Derby, the Rebellion Bar in Manchester, the Tache Club and the Waterloo Bar both in Blackpool and the Railway Hotel in Southend. While surviving legends like The Damned, The Lurkers, TV Smith and Vice Squad command the highest billing, surviving and reformed bands of all vintages proliferate alongside relatively newer talent such as Hands Off Gretel, Hazard, Louise Distras, The Tuts, The Featherz, The Kut, Healthy Junkies, Pussycat and the Dirty Johnsons, Wonk Unit and Dragster. The magazine Vive Le Rock specialises in overground news-stand coverage of the scene, while websites and Youtube channels fulfil the roles once played by fanzines and bootleggers.

That's just the UK scene. Similar paragraphs could be written about goings on in the US, mainland European nations etc. 62.190.148.115 (talk) 11:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention, modern-day punk ethos in other genres that strip away commercialization to find that raw core. Death Grips comes to mind, but I'm sure there are more bands and artists. (2001:569:7629:9C00:D5DB:16A0:186A:57D4 (talk) 06:56, 1 October 2018 (UTC))[reply]

The whole "Underground"/ "No Sell Out" thing came from the hippies and got imposed on punk by the music press. 2.28.124.15 (talk) 01:31, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Links in quote[edit]

@Dan56: notes that when it comes to quotes; "link only to targets that correspond to the meaning clearly intended by the quote's author". I do not believe this applies to the links in the quote by Robert Christgau to;

What the writer meant by his words (which do not match the links used) could be interpreted as meaning these things, but that's the problem with adding links to quotes with metaphors. He may not have meant that at all, and linking them in this way may be misleading to the reader.

To avoid all doubt, I would suggest that the above guide is followed, and the links are not used.--Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 18:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Those links are less clear. Dan56 (talk) 19:57, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
