  The second most fatuous musical movement invented by the music press (after Oi, obviously) was "positive punk". Whafuck?

  Boy, did it ever -- the whole late 90s movement was just confusing.

    I think it was just another genre to market by, after the 'punk explosion'. ;)
     
    Did you see how ridiculous this became within electronic music, by the late 90s? lol!

    I think of it as bands that started around 1979, mostly in the UK, that changed around the original Ramones/Pistols sound of punk--bands like Gang of Four, Joy Division, etc.
