What was it like to be a punk in 70s Britain?
朋克(punk)代表着一种反叛的态度。继60年代的嬉皮士潮流之后,以朋克为名的青年文化在70年代末火遍了英美。秉承着“每个人都能玩儿音乐”的开放不羁的态度,在这一时期涌现了一大批优秀的摇滚乐队,如Sex Pistols, Ramones, Buzzcoks等。在新自由主义改革,罢工潮席卷英伦三岛的70年代末,一群反对墨守成规的青年人,抛弃了披头士60年代西装革履表演摇滚的绅士传统,穿着皮夹克和破洞牛仔裤,剃着莫西干头,拿起手中的吉他点燃了那个躁动不安的时代精神。
本期我邀请了在那个年代长大的伦敦老朋克Clive 来聊聊那段激动人心的日子。
文字版和翻译版敬请期待。
Punk represents a rebellious attitude. Following the hippie trend of the 60s, the youth culture known as punk spread across the UK and America in the late 70s. With an open-minded attitude that 'everyone could play music', a number of great rock bands emerged during this period, such as the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Buzzcoks and others. In the late 70s, when the neo-liberal reforms and strikes were sweeping Britain, a group of young people who were against the establishment abandoned the 60s Beatles' gentlemanly tradition of playing rock 'n' roll in their suits. In stead, they wore leather jackets and ripped jeans, shaved Mohican heads and stroke guitars violently to ignite the restless zeitgeist.
In this issue I invited Clive, an original London punk who grew up in the era, to talk about those exciting days
