Audience Dynamics in Punk as a Subculture Problem? / Publikumsdynamiken im Punk als ein subkulturelles Problem? I am using AI for this, since I seriously don’t want to invest too much time and effort into something that is as obvious yet needs some explanation. My point is: Early punk thrived on dispersion, unpredictability, and a real hope for change through content and ideas. Why does a social space like Rebellion Festival and punk in general feels like a closed loop: self-congratulation on repeat, celebrating a past that hasn’t evolved. Meanwhile, hardcore as a social music genre engages more seriously with real…Continue readingAudience Dynamics in Punk

Limit of politicalness in mainstreamed punk always had been reached (text below) [ https://simorgh.de/sprechen/the-limit-of-politicalness-in-mainstreamed-punk/ ] Die Grenze des Politischen im Mainstream-Punk war schon immer erreicht [ https://simorgh.de/sprechen/die-grenze-des-politischen-im-mainstream-punk/ ] Punk sollte bittschön sein eigenes Klischee sein. Wenn etwas darüber hinaus geht, in Sachen … ja in welchen Punkten eigentlich? Sagen wir mal in Sachen des Anspruches “politischer Hinterfragung des Systemhaften” und Ähnlichem … dann ist es was Neues. Punk war das, was all solche Dinge zu schlucken versuchte aus einem revolutionärem Anspruch heraus, und was all diese Dinge aber auch in einem Rahmen einengte, der heute als Stagnationsbefördernd eindeutig sichtbar geworden…Continue readingdie Punk-Bremse / The Punk Break

Other things equal … Soziale Widrigkeiten erlebt man nicht nur bei Meinungsgegnern. Gedanken ( 23 – 05 – 2012 ) Die Angst vor dem Undenkbaren: Das Dilemma der menschlichen Agonie ist die Vorstellung der (menschlichen) Allmacht im Denken: Kein Bezug zur Welt, der sich mit dem Denken der Anderen, des All-Lebens, zusammenbringen lässt auf sinnvolle Weise. Die Isolation des Menschen ist seine Agonie. Das Böse gegen das Böse: Hölle als Metapher – ein Gewissen sei was schlechtes? Bekämpfungen: Konspirationen brauchen eine Fiktion – und wenn sie eine haben, dann enden sie in irgend einer Art Massen-/mord oder Massen-/tötung. Eigenverantwortung: Man…Continue readingSätze (1)

Critical commitment
Activism relies too much on group dynamics and is leaving too little space for a commitment on an individual basis. If critical independent thought and reflection would be a form of activism: It would mean you constantly stepped on the feet of cluster-like positions of fellow activists It would mean you have to be able to work 99% independently as a minority within a minority It would mean you might feel what you are doing seems somewhat detached from self-affirming group dynamics And it would mean that you are not d’accord with the undifferentiated main-streams of positions within the discussion…Continue readingCritical commitment

Farangis: Fingerhände Mondgreifer Schrei des Pfeils Geburt der Spirale Aus meinem Traumschreiber Traumgeborenes Meine traumgeborenen Kinder, meine Silberherzenperlen, brauchen Honig, Milch und Wärme, Farbenspiel im Blumenzaun, Blätterrauschen, Schattenbaum, bin ich Apfel, sind sie Kerne, bin ich Ei, berg neues Leben, habe Schale zart und fein, brech ich, stößt mich auf den Wegen herzlos grobes Stiefelbein. Schließen möchte ich meine hundert offnen Ohren, Draußenlärm drängt schmerzend ein, immer bin ich unverschlossen, Schmutz und Alltagslärm hineingegossen, bin ich doch Krug bestimmt für Wein! Gestricktes und Ersticktes Klagepfeil Sucht seinen Tröstegott, lebensschwach fürchtet der starken Spott, Märchensucher Lauscht hinterm Kerzenlicht, Menschenbilder Im Nebelgrau…Continue readingFarangis: Aus meinem Traumschreiber

Poem, Punks on Kings Road
A Leporello, by Farangis Yegane: The one side The other side Punks on Kings Road a poem by Farangis fluttering through soulridded masses, spike-headed, multicoloured birds, searching-around, up and down, in neon lights came to blosom early, in basement-nests, ragged-clothes, hanging-edgy-stuff, chains-sounding, weak hearts up and down and heavy booted, crowded in bulks, on benches, stairs, empty glance in multicoloured rags tired-faced up and down at loss of goals.
