The first thing that springs to mind here is "Six-Month Gap".

Dubious bit of reasoning there as it highly depends on where exactly you
are. Certain areas of London have been punk since it originated.

And the UK inflicted the Spice Girls on us, too, so what's your point?
IMO, London and the UK in general (okay, except for Cardiff and maybe
even the rest of Wales) seems to be a black hole from which music
styles can never escape.

It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.

That punk wasn't a joke during the 80's, neither were punks known as
poseurs in any general way. Maybe to you and your friends but that's
hardly a definitive sample.

Dude, punk was already a parody of itself in the US by 1982. Urgh!
more or less documented the very moment that punk jumped the shark
over here. Might have been different in the UK, but that just proves
my point. The UK is where styles go to die; the Beatles are the
exception that prove the rule.

I'd like to see Storm in her Hip Hop phase. Hey she could carry an umbrella
like Rihanna.
