When do you think punk ended and what ended it? I think punk scenes come and go, but if it's more of an ideology or ethos, it never fully goes away.gkbill wrote: ↑16 Dec 2019, 9:04pmHello,
I'm of the opinion punk doesn't exist anymore - it did exist but it was a product of the times. Looking back, I 'm very thankful I was lucky enough to be young at that time. I feel badly for kids today who don't get to experience that kind of movement. Their lives are so empty of true excitement and energy. Your proposed seminar may be punk as a social experience/movement. I'd be interested as to how someone would define the end (death) of punk - MTV?
Using the imagination requires too much effort for many students as discussed previously.
And, yeah, part of my idea about a punk seminar is to possibly develop a way of a punk education space. But what that would mean, I don't know. I'm pretty old fashioned in thinking we should read lots, use our imagination, and talk a lot in class. But I'd like to think offering a course with punk as the them would attract some adventurous minds. Or maybe it'll be a bunch of knobs who listen to Blink 182.
