Punk mattered? I guess to a handful of people.

Excellent.
 
 The first colour pic though is not Jonny Rotten, it has to be Vansmack.....

i'd rather been seen as pathetic than a complainer

Would you consider yourself an egregious person?

I don't know the meaning of that word without looking it up. So I guess the answer would be no. Does my answer make me punk?

 You are as cantankerous as your vocabulary is pathetic.

Is that some kind of herpes reference? Is that close enough to the syph? Someone call econo.

[Arlette]

Ha!  I was thinking of one of these for Rhett:
 
 curmudgeon
 
 n : a crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas
 
 He's not quite old enough for that though.  This might be better:
 
 malcontent
 
 n : A chronically dissatisfied person
 
 And Rhett,  here you go for egregious:
 
 adj. :  conspicuously bad or offensive

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

What are you talking about Arlette? I'm an old man. Don't deny me that.

But really, who did punk really matter to in this country? I graduated from a class of 200 in 1985, and I can't remember anybody who was in the couple of grades ahead of me or behind me who were into punk at all.
 
 It seems that punk was mostly a thing for a very tiny group of jaded upper middle class suburban white kids.
