When I saw the party announcement weeks ago I felt a sinking feeling and simply avoided it. At 10 p.m. on election night, after it had become clear which way things were going, I decided to go.

    Good for them that they manage to run a subculture without geeks, mops or creatives and only sociopaths. Their parties do sound extremely dreadful however. Like they are trying to recreate something with the lasting power of punk using only one hit wonders.

      to be fair that was mclaren’s original plan for punk rock and the sex pistols were a boy band assembled by an exploitative manager. he just got a bit more than he bargained for.

        Sure but that was after punk rock was already a thing, and they already had creatives/geeks/mops. That the sociopath of the sex pistols is now a ‘conservative is the new punk rock’ still trying to shock his parents geriatric is a bit sad.
