Punk Just Ain't What it Used to Be

I wonder if the execs of the department store chain where this pic was taken know that the inspiration for this fashion display was a heroin induced murderer. Doh.

"Hey, lets go to the mall and buy some punk rock clothes!".

It's less objectionable than if they had a Charles Manson clothing line. :D
And the whole point of punk was to be anti-fashion. I doubt if you will ever see Patti Smith endorse a clothing line in Target stores. :\

Looks like skate punks, or at least those who market to them, are trying commandeer "punk". The net result is funny in the same sense as "Engrish" tee shirts, people wearing stuff that makes no sense and they don't even understand.

I also like the t-shirt that has a picture of a CBGB shirt on the front of it.

Or people acting like the "House of Blues" brand means the same thing now as it used to.

Also need to be careful what you buy at the Slayer concert...
