The Day That Punk Died Again

newyorker:

The biggest sin of this current show is not that it isn’t true to punk. It’s that it doesn’t honor history, ideas, or clothing. It’s dull, and even a suburban house party can negate that kind of bad religion.

Sasha Frere-Jones on the many failures of the Met’s “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibition: http://nyr.kr/15AE7MT

Q
Out of all the Met attendees, who do you think best represented the theme? My money is on Zandra Rhodes or Madonna.
A

agreed.  Christina Ricci, Eve, and Miley Cyrus are the only other attendees that seemed to understand what punk is.
