Dexy's Midnight Runners
The Cure

Discharge/Exploited crust punk is/was always relatively easy to spot.

Neds/Wonderstuff, similarly. BURN WITH FIRE.

The Cure (Robert Smith, really).

Discharge/Exploited and crust punk are 2 different things although the first influenced the latter (more Discharge than Exploited, crust punks mostly hated the Exploited tbh). Exploited = mohicans/spikes, crust punk = gross dreadlocks

Neither of them smell very good though.

Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 11:05 (five years ago) link

Now glad I never mentioned it to them!

definitely Belle and Sebastian. ILM might not exist if it weren't for them

Not a band but the breakdancing/bboy culture

Did that crusty punk thing start with Crass fandom? & expand I know there were quite a few bands operating in that area in the early 80s.

Then there was the Spirit of '77 thing that I never quite understood, i thought pun was more vital over the previous year or couple of years. & becoming codified by '77.
& a lot of people woken up by punk had moved onto things a bit less codified by the early 80s anyway.

this kind of thing happened to me, I went to see The Books in Milwaukee but screwed up and got the wrong week, so we saw a Mexican Wrestling show instead. obviously I don't regret the error at all.

frogbs, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 22:01 (five years ago) link

significant overlap with grateful dead I would guess but disco biscuits. (one of my roommates in college was really, really into them, and as a result was almost never home)

Jerry Garcia is pretty much the last guy I'd expect to see in a Members Only type jacket.

Someone mentioned Throbbing Gristle upthread, but a better example would be Psychic TV, their fans being members/followers of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth.
