It was ostensibly a book about Punk music. Then Greil Marcus gave us Lipstick Traces. Aspects of our disaffection were fatuous, but at core it was genuine. We saw consumerism and pop culture as twin monsters. We trolled shabby, independent bookstores-when such places still were common-searching for cheap copies of Raoul Vaneigem’s The Revolution of Everyday Life, Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle, or booklets by Peter Lamborn Wilson.
