punk's not dead.. oh noooo

While I don't really agree with the actual message ("HOMO!"), I can't help feeling more than a little sympathy for the sentiment.

As The Exploited put it so eloquently in their classic tune "Punk's not dead", from the album of the same name (Secret Records, 1981):

Said so near the punk is dead
Here was you a modern tend.(of tendention)
Don't let it losing don't any worse
and all cruise up tha the punk is dead

Punk's not dead i know [x4]

We're all punks and we don't care
That was price to do out here
Blow the trapist in your face
with about tone of noise

It acsros to any law
Have no fear 'till the day I die
We all here use just to walk around
Don't like I'll hitchu to the ground


Yup. (Lyrics courtesy of the.. uh.. interweb). Actually in my opinon, and as TimothyFarrell22 of Massachusetts concurs in this Amazon CD review, it was bands like The Exploited who killed punk with their moronic attitudes and the appalling, laughable throwback-to-NWOBHM (Wiki) sound that they developed in the mid-to-late 80s; oh, the Irony. The deep, dark, dank Irony.

There's been a bit of advert/poster-jamming going on around the place of late; hopefully I'll be able to capture some more of the more-interesting and less-reactionary ones for y'all.
