When England was still England and the people actually enjoyed life and got on with life, no political correctness and people didn't get offended too easily they were tougher times but better times, it is sad to see what we have become in today's world.

[@philshine3388]

I was 10 in 77, and terrified of punks, before I ended up becoming one. They all look so sweet and harmless here!

[@flowerpunkchip]

They were sweet. It was the skinheads which scared me, not the punks.

Fabulous memories of a wonderful time in my life. Every Saturday afternoon down the Kings Rd, just to see who's there, never actually buying anything cos it was a rip off. You got better clothes from army Surplus stores, Petticoat Lane on a Sunday or Portobello on a Saturday morning. Bunk the tube, pay from the last stop before you got off, or just jump the barrier. "Got a spare ten pence mate?". One pint of snakebite and five straws please. Three blues for a quid. Riots in the Kings Rd cos they're shutting Beaufort Market and turning it into a Macdonalds. Thursday night at the Marquee then bunk the Northern Line to Mornington Crescent, up the fire escape stairs so avoiding the ticket collector in the lift, leg it out of there before they see you, go to the Music Machine- it's free before eleven with a flyer, two pounds after that. More blues, still only a pound for three. It closes at three a.m, no money for the night bus so walk it the six miles home to a squat in Brixton, number 19 Newark House in Loughborough Road. The milk man's out already. Can't sleep, too much speed. Do it all again tomorrow.

[@GordonKegg-g8w]

The girl at the beginning of this video is surely the girl in the Great Rock and Roll Swindle?

[@jasperswarp]

Yes definitely, I believe she was the girlfriend of Julien Temple at the time, she also appeared in the UK Subs movie (not seen it though). She’s a total stunner.

Does anyone have a photo with a certain David H. (Dave) born in 1959?He was a London Punk in 1978. So he was 18-19 at that time.Englishman...He went to Cambridge that autumn of 1978.A smart and sweet guy!I don't want to tell more about his identity here,but if someone might guess who the guy is and has a photo with him as a punk...I will write my email.

[@AnInsideJob-mynewbook]

There was so much variety of music and styles in the 1970s and 1980s. In 2016, it is mostly Rap Crap which dominates the music scene. We hear it on the radio; the internet; in commercials; on children's programs; blasting from vehicles; in fashion shows; school productions; charity events; theatrical performances; etc etc. It is so overrated and boring!

I agree. Thats all i ever hear. And theyre rarely of any quality. Mumble rap? What a joke. And dont get me started on todays fashion.

[@danielgardecki1046]

70's and 80's music was shit. Dominated by *Disco, Rock, Metal* and *Synth-Pop* shite. I agree about the majority of todays rappers however, as the majority of the ones who have come out in the last 10 years are shit. The shittest rappers get the most views most of the time. And the shittest genres *Drill* and *Trap* are becoming more and more popular with kids. All the best ones are the *Grime, Hip Hop* and *Bassline* rappers who were out pre-2010, and are rarely heard on mainstream radio.
