For Ritter. Latest issue of Vive Le Rock magazine has interview with Adam in it Adam says, "I'm not a new romantic, I'm punk. I get clubbed in with that fucking new romantic, steve strange scene." There you have it. Straight from the man's mouth.

@ritter89, My your world is very compartmentalized! Adam Ant changed styles every album or so and NEVER, NEVER EVER NEVER associated his music with the New Romantics. He consistently and insistently called his style ANTMUSIC! But if you wanna split hairs, this is CLASSIC British Punk. Adam was part of that first wave from 1976-78. Sounds like your definition of punk is restricted to it's American roots which have more in common with Garage than what most people think of as "punk" (ie: Pistols).

@ritter89  a friend of Adam Ants I suppose? you speak as if you think he's your pal or something. how sad. maybe one day you can meet some real musicians and get clued in!!

[NYrocknrollbitch]

Hahahahahaha right. Good response, SLC punk!

[ritter89]

@NYrocknrollbitch BTW, if you think that this music falls under the category of punk rock, you're completely clueless. Ant himself associates his music with the New Romantics, NOT Punk. Completely different genres of music from completely different underground movements. It's an insult to the musicians to just lump everything into one monolithic category. Not my problem that dopey youtube posers file Billy Squire under heavy metal and Bow Wow Wow under punk (b/c Annabella had a Mohawk)

@NYrocknrollbitch Oh, blow me. I'm pretentious b/c I express my opinion? Pretentious is referring to one hit wonders from the 80s as "icons" and "geniuses". Punk started with The Velvet Underground and ended with The Stooges. By the late 70s/early 80s, punk was just another trendy marketing tool. Same thing happened to Grunge. Underground music movements like punk are often finished by the time the general public and major record labels catch on. Insert Adam Ant (radio friendly New Romantic)
