I grew up listening to Bow Wow Wow and the other punk bands of the time. I liked that they were independent and against the mainstream. Today my stepson asked me to get rid of the clothes that he no longer wears. He had bags full of sean jon, ecko, g-unit and the other brands that mtv tells him that he should wear. I try to tell him that the only purpose that mtv now serves is to separete him from his money but he doesn't believe me. His generation is lost to consumerisn and doesn't know it

Does anybody know if there's any videos on Youtube from a 1982 new year's gig they did live on MTV? Would love to see that again.

Wow, I feel totally lucky to have seen them live around this same time period... I was only 14 yrs old, it was awesome. Been a lifelong fan of theirs and other McLaren bands...

"Bow Wow Wow were a 1980s New Wave band created by Malcolm McLaren to promote his and business partner Vivienne Westwood's New Romantic fashion lines" - 1st line off Bow Wow Wow's Wiki entry.

Just saying.. it's been that way since forever pretty much.. it's much more about preference than anything.

@nkmcfrln An apology would be nice. However, I alreaty told you to take your internet bullying someplace else. I suggest that in the future, you ASK someone what their comments mean before you bash them, rather than assume that you know. Spying ay? I just read what you put out there for all to see, slash.

[nkmcfrln]

@Mirv41 you're sending me long winded messages in bunches after i've finished sending you any and now you're spying on me. do you want to stop? i was going to ask you before.

[Mirv41]

@nkmcfrln I never realized that my comments would strike such a nerve. "You might have listened to them but, you certainly weren't into them". You sound like Kate Hudson in Almost Famous. I do not live my life vicariously through bands, slash I listen to music and I like music and I have my own life that does not involve some band. maybe you should try curling to get rid of some of your pent up hostility, slash.

@nkmcfrln When I said "independent", I wasn't talking about freedom from record labels, I was talking about not going with the flow.. I'm obviously not the musical purist that you are. Get a life and take your internet bullying somewhere else.

[nkmcfrln]

@Mirv41 " I liked that they were independent and against the mainstream. " You don't care what label released their albums? They were never independent and that's one of the two reasons you gave for being a fan. Like I said before, you're full of it. "Ostentatious" LOL

@nkmcfrln My argument isn't that 80's music is better than music of today, but that today's youth are being sold a bill of goods and don't know it., much more than youth of the '80's were. Today men wear AXE because marketers tell them it will get them laid, whereas most women will tell you AXE smells like crap. That is just part of what MTV does today. Which is better, a corporation that pushes something you like,or a corporation that pushes something that it tells you you should like?
