Whether you think punk died, sold out, or rolls over in it’s grave every time an over-styled emo band self-proclaims itself as the 4-letter word on MTV (Jared Leto, I’m looking at you), it’s never too late to become a part of the discussion.
And tonight in the back room of Public Assembly (70 N. 6th, Williamsburg, Brooklyn) you can do just that. Vol. 1 Brooklyn editors present The Future of What?: A Panel on Punk in the 1990s.
Come join four talented authors as they talk about the decade that punk broke, sold out and eventually died — but not before changing the faces of music, politics and popular culture.
Featuring: Sara Marcus (Author of Girls to the Front: The True Story of Riot Grrrl Revolution), Eric Davidson (New Bomb Turks, Author of We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001), Norman Brannon (Texas is the Reason, Author of The Anti-Matter Anthology: A 1990s Post-Punk & Hardcore Reader), Maura Johnston (The Awl, Village Voice).
The panel starts at 7pm and a skim donation of $3 is suggested at the door.
