The Smiths -- (Preppy) Punk?
posted by davidt on Friday August 25 2000, @09:00AM

While flipping through the pages of the September 2000 issue of Maxim magazine, I came across this picture in their fashion section which they've titled "Rebellious Behavior - Preppy Punk: Be bad or just look like it in this fall's most vicious clothes." (scan) The caption under the picture reads: "Checked kilt, $695, by Classic Burberry; T-shirt (referring to The Smiths one), $78, by Lascaux at Intermix; ..." Didn't know The Smiths were Punk?

And from Jay, more on the same Rank shirt from the August 2000 edition of In Style magazine: "Making the cut" (scan)

    PUNK past... (Score:1)

    Oh, it's always been bleedin' obvious Morrissey has a punk past; at that time, 1976-1978, you was either "there" or you was off wanking to all the crap that was on the radio way back then! Morrissey was definitely "there" - Manchester being one of the all-time hip centres of pop music. That's what first drew me to The Smiths (1985), my punk roots recognised one of the brethren!

      Is this even worth responding to? It hurts to think about the stupid people that are out there. (Maybe they bought that stuff on EBAY!)

        Fill your idle summer hours by the pool with a few easy D.I.Y. kits: With scissors and a spare second, you can make your own Lascaux custom T-shirt. The $60 silk-screened shirts (call Curve, 310-360-8008) come with an uncut neck that you slice into whatever neckline you want.

          I don't care even if Moz was a punk all those years ago - I hate punks with venom. I cannot stand these vulgar people at all!
