Abbo seems more concerned with meaningless cliquey social signifiers

Al: How is the audience for you and the bands you play with?


Abbo: Well Crass have a very heavy punk audience, Killing Joke is
slightly more sophisticated, a lot of poseurs you might say - can't
really tell what kind of an audience us and Killing Joke draw, its a
mix between hardcore punks, normal punks, straights, hippies, trendy
punks... In London there's still a really good punk scene, there's a
lot of places that are really tuned in, other places it's dead.
