Ask - The Smiths

into the valley - skids

Some things don’t need to be overly complicated or intellectualised. If muting with your thumb works for you then do it. If growing up on a working class council estate where there is no work and lots of bored angry youths about is reflected in the music of the time then no middle class intellectual needs to write a thesis on the subject to make sense of it. Chomsky didn’t need to publish a paper on The Specials Ghost Town. I just had to walk into the town centre to understand it.

I know you love a quote! I’m no expert on the history of Punk but I doubt that many of the original punk’s thought too deeply about the subject. They were largely bored, broke and a bit angry about the state of their lives. It hadn’t changed all that much by my early teens.

I was a bit too young to be a Punk but old enough to have been impacted by the social and economic conditions of the 1970s. I doubt if it was just a fashion statement for most. They were tough and bleak times.
