Historically speaking, the first wave of the punk/new wave was primarily a movement of creative abuse of hardly-ever-used consumer media technology. Parents bought expensive equipment like 8-track recorders, Super-8 and Polaroid cameras and later VHS camcorders and only used it to "document" birthday parties and other eminently boring ceremonies. But the rebellious teens found interesting new things to do with the dust-collecting media tech, and it started one of the biggest DIY revolutions of the 20th century. So punk was a movement of youngsters goofing around with consumer tech. (en) |
