"At work here is a delusion over-25s will recall from the hippie days: the we-are-youth line. To their credit, punks don't pretend to be everybody's brothers and sisters. They savage contemporaries who don't share their self-interests--the grammar-school boys, the art students, the revitalized teds--and they savage each other with continual exhortations to cut the shit. "Try to evade reality/And now you're just a novelty," warn the Killjoys, and when punks at the Vortex cheered the news of Elvis's death--another old fart gone--Danny Baker of Sniffin' Glue grabbed the mike in a rage and reminded them just where they'd be without him. But like most minority groups, they take comfort in the thought that their situation is not only of central social significance, but also the source of magic powers. The notion that Everypunk can just walk off the dole queue and make great rock and roll is essential to their sense of themselves." ~ Robert Christgau, 'We Have to Deal With It', Village Voice, January 9, 1978
