Edupunk, as defined by the New York Times, is "an approach to teaching that avoids mainstream tools like Powerpoint and Blackboard, and instead aims to bring the rebellious attitude and D.I.Y. ethos of 70s bands like the Clash to the classroom." The term was coined by Jim Groom, Instructional Technology Specialist at the University of Mary Washington. His friend and colleague is Gardner Campbell, Director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor University. They dont agree on the metaphor and go head-to-head on the concept of Edupunk.

joecar has it right. Punk is Dead. Long Live Punk. Remix is a new force reshaping our musical lives - but by its definition doesn't necessarily add anything new. Remix is sampling other cultures, sounds, beats, and harmonies. But something new does emerge and that's awesome. Punk Rock is over as a strong cultural influence. For the moment. But it's still a great meme. Appropriate to educational use of technology - REJECT THE SYSTEM WHICH DICTATES THE NORM

one of the only things that really characterized punk was Aggressive Ideology of Dissent - punks never even got along well and had stupid wars (e.g. skins vs. straight edge). Ferocity gave a lot of them an air of "better than thou", true enough. But it's really ridiculous to characterize them all as same. That's just plain ignorant bigotry. Lots of genres have dissent in it, yes, tho punk IS. A Grounded Theory approach to discern conditions and contexts in musical genre influences would be cool.

I'll give you Black Flag and The Cramps for enduring influence. But your description of what the genre afforded you--I don't doubt it--is not different at all from the way I feel about other genres. One big problem with punk is that it insisted it was the only true way. Everyone else was bogus, to the punks. That's the oldest "revolutionary" dogma going. But YMMV. And for the record, I ain't sittin' back. :)
