Punk is Dead: Punk is Everything!

Sure to be as successful as the 1999 bestseller, Fucked Up + Photocopied, Punk is Dead: Punk Is Everything! broadens its scope to expose the lasting impact of "punk" on visual culture worldwide. Described as the "last organically incubated 'oppositional youth' movement" of the pre-MTV era, punk slipped quietly under the cultural radar before rising again to inspire new generations of creative and idealistic artists and musicians. Independent bands such as Crucifix, the Plugz, and Bad Religion, found that success was best measured in terms other than Units sold... Features a hard hitting essay by one of the most respected voices of the fiercely independent DIY music underground, Ian Makaye (Teen Idols/Minor Threat / Fugazi). And others by Malcolm McLaren, Vincent Gallo (the Grey), and Matt Burosso (Crucifix).
