Punk rock and contemporary anarchism

[Patrick F. Durgin]

Yeah, well, I gathered that.  And it's a legitimate red flag to raise, so to
speak.  I do think that in many ways the punk thing, the '77 anon sort of
angle, is useful in terms of understanding the way in which pop has wholly
embraced and put to damn effective use the detournement ever since that
transformative wish.  Look at that McClaren fellow, whether you view him as
villain or hero.  Cornershop is an excellent example of this.  It's the
perceived duty of pop to code you out at about 30 (or in my case, 25).
