Actually, yes.

Please. New Wave takes more from disco than it does The Clash.

From the All Music Guide

During the late '70s and early '80s, New Wave was a catch-all term for the music that directly followed punk rock; often, the term encompassed punk itself, as well. In retrospect, it's became clear that the music that followed punk could be divided, more or less, into two categories -- post-punk and new wave. Where post-punk was arty, difficult, and challenging, new wave was pop music, pure and simple. It retained the fresh vigor and irreverence of punk music, as well as a fascination with electronics, style, and art.

Ah yes, more of the 'punk is an attitude' crap . By that definition Merle Haggard was a punk artist. Wooo!

[chequita guevara]

Now you're just trolling.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Not at all. If irreverance and disdain for authority = punk, then Haggard fits. Just showing the whole 'attitude' definition is ridiculous.

Imran, you just have to face it that your political ideology is deeply uncool.

[Imran Siddiqui]

We got Clint Eastwood, who do you have?

Nyet. Punk attitude is DIY, Do It Yourself.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Do what yourself?

[chequita guevara]

It.

If I have to tell you, you aren't punk.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Then like I said, disdain for authority (do it yourself when told to do something). I was trying to ask what in do it yourself contradicts what I said about it.

[chequita guevara]

DIY isn't what you tell someone else, its what you do when you want something.

[Imran Siddiqui]

So you are saying that punks are really Libertarians?

[chequita guevara]

What did my first post say?

I rest my case.

[Imran Siddiqui]

They are Anarchists and Nihilists. No libertarians in there .

I rest my case.

Good, so you admit that we win . There ain't a man cooler than Eastwood, and that's just among the living. I mean, if I wanted to blow you out of the water, I'd expand my side (to include conservatives) and say we got John Wayne [The Duke], to which there is NO coolness comeback. Just listen to Dennis Leary's "The ******* Song".
