Presentation of Punk

The presentation of "punk is passe" has character. I definitely form an image of the writer behind the scenes. Just as most novels, the authors writing style is consistent throughout. To me this style is similar to Hunter S Thompson's often swearing and over emphasizing criticizing metaphors. "I have even taken a liking to fucking with the Mohawk types..." Hunter wrote, "In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep." Hunter was highly politically driven and was constantly angry with the ways of the world, which compares not only to punk is passe and its rebel style, but also punk as a lifestyle.
