a2 - selling punk to the masses

here's an apparently serious short video teaching you how to dress like a punk, but in a 'chic, appropriate' manner...!

remember the quotes from john fiske in your marxism booklet about how capitalism seeks to  remake commodities, to take ownership’ selling us back our own innovations at a high price? 

fiske says that ‘signs of resistance’ are ‘quickly incorporated into the dominant system, thereby robbing them of any oppositional meaning.' 

(quotes taken from John Fiske – Understanding Popular Culture)

watch the video.

what exactly does punk mean?

when is punk no longer punk?

why does the guardian feel like it has the power to tell us how to dress?
