i'd, also, like to debate "punk is dead". punk as a "social movement for the wannabe-counterculture youth of mainstream parents" is shambling Romero-style thanks to consumerism turning it into a Trend (i'd argue the "late-60s Civil Rights-marching, college kids" were a proto-punk group)....but, "punk as ideology" is alive and well methinks, particularly in the queer community, naturally.
I've got a pet theory (probably lukewarm) that Cyberpunk is a new-yet-old thing, again (cuz Y2K kinda tried), because of it's inclusion of socioeconomics Dommed by portable(!!!) technology and the transitioning of servile yet tempestuous human flesh into more sustainable, mechanical forms with changeable and modifiable parts that can range from the most androgynous to the most camp. Veeeery satisfying to an oppressed group looking to "trans-form" themselves physically and mentally away from systemic oppressions into an interconnected...Web, shall we say, while still maintaining an overall identify of "queerpunk"(?)
dammit, i'm gonna end up writing this whole zine in toots, aren't i...
