Nihilism, Punk and the International Necronautical Society: an interview with Simon Critchley
It was hate and war against peace and love, and also the way punk saw the sexual liberation as another form of captivity. The most radical element of punk was the refusal of sex. Sid Vicious said sex is two minutes and 19 seconds of squelching noises. A revulsion about sex, it was something complacent Californian hippies did. The drug culture at the time was completely amphetamine based, so you couldn’t if you wanted to. You didn’t have the wherewithal.
