@bluenose1986 yeah the term "punk" became something else, so the real punks invented their own terms: post punk and indie rock

FYI Read About Seymour is a referrence to a song by the Swell Maps. They also referrence the song Midget Submarines in a different song.

It's funny cos it's true! I well remember one of the local 'punks' from my school asking the assistant in my local Boots record department if he could hear The Clash LP before he bought it. He listened to a couple of bars of each intro before pulling an expression of distaste. At which point he and his ridiculous off-the-peg bondage trousers (freshly washed by his mum) left the store. Plank.

Love this song. Punk was not supposed to be about a contrived sneer or a stolen power riff. It was about doing your own thing and following it through to the max - something that got lost in the leather jacketed clamour to copy the Pistols and the Clash. Basically Punk should not have been a sound - just a blueprint to do your own thing regardless. This is the perfect example of that.
