The Filth and the Fury filmhandledning The Filth and the Fury The Filth and the Fury är en dokumentärfilm om det engelska punkbandet Sex Pistols. Filmen är en skildring från den tid då bandet bildades 1975, dess upp- lösning 26 månader senare 1978 fram till basisten Sid Vicious död året därpå. Filmen placerar Sex Pistols i ett samhälleligt och kul- turellt sammanhang och väcker frågor kring ungdomskultur, dess relation till samhället och myter- na kring rockmusiken. Rekommenderad för gymnasiet En filmhandledning av Clas Österholm Filmens handling – och The Johnny Rotten – karismatisk sångare i skandalomsusade ”Sex Pistols”.

Instead of being consumed, they are historical artifacts to be studied and “read.” Or at least that is a common approach within cultural studies. But dated pop artifacts have another, living function. Throughout much of 1973 and early 1974, several working- class teens from west London’s Shepherd’s Bush district struggled to become a rock band. Like tens of thousands of such groups over the years, they learned to play together by copying older songs that they all liked. For guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook, that meant the short, sharp rock songs of London bands like the Small Faces, the Kinks, and the Who. Most of the songs had been hits seven to ten 1 2 Introduction years earlier. They also learned some more current material, much of it associated with the band that succeeded the Small Faces, the brash “lad’s” rock of Rod Stewart’s version of the Faces. Ironically, the Rod Stewart songs they struggled to learn weren’t Rod Stewart songs at all.

  • Scenes and Subcultures
    ISSN 1751-8229 IJŽS Volume Three, Number One Realizing the Scene; Punk and Meaning’s Demise R. Pope - Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada. Joplin and Hendrix set the intensive norm for rock shows, fed the rock audience’s need for the emotional charge that confirmed they’d been at a “real” event… The ramifications were immediate. Singer-songwriters’ confessional mode, the appeal of their supposed “transparency”, introduced a kind of moralism into rock – faking an emotion (which in postpunk ideology is the whole point and joy of pop performance) became an aesthetic crime; musicians were judged for their openness, their honesty, their sensitivity, were judged, that is, as real, knowable people (think of that pompous rock fixture, the Rolling Stone interview)’. -Simon Frith, from `Rock and the Politics of Memory’ (1984: 66-7) `I’m an icon breaker, therefore that makes me unbearable. They want you to become godlike, and if you won’t, you’re a problem. They want you to carry their ideological load for them. That’s nonsense. I always hoped I made it completely clear that I was as deeply confused as the next person. That’s why I’m doing this. In fact, more so. I wouldn’t be up there on stage night after night unless I was deeply confused, too’. -John Lydon, from Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs (1994: 107) `Gotta go over the Berlin Wall I don't understand it.... I gotta go over the wall I don't understand this bit at all... Please don't be waiting for me’ -Sex Pistols lyrics to `Holidays in the Sun’ INTRODUCTION: CULTURAL STUDIES What is Lydon on about? What is punk 'about’? Within the academy, punk is generally understood through the lens of cultural studies, through which punk’s activities are cast an aura of meaningful `resistance’ to `dominant’ forces.

    The influence of the Punk Movement on the world we live in today. Whether we accept it or not, the punk movement of the 1970’s has changed our lives today. From it’s beginnings with social discord and disillusionment with the government following Britain slipping into recession. The British people were suffering on a number of fronts. Terrorist attacks were taking place fairly regularly, with the IRA beginning their campaign of terror. Along with the recession came massive unemployment meaning the school leavers found finding a job hard. Soon from nowhere bands like The Sex Pistols sprang up and made one of the biggest marks on the scene. John Lydon would later explain the punk scene and explained where the country was at the time. “Early Seventies Britain was a very depressing place. It was completely run‐down, there was trash on the streets, total unemployment—just about everybody was on strike. Everybody was brought up with an education system that told you point blank that if you came from the wrong side of the tracks...then you had no hope in hell and no career prospects at all. Out of that came pretentious moi and the Sex Pistols and then a whole bunch of copycat wankers after us” A band called London SS managed by Bernard Rhodes broke up before performing live. The members of which went on to form The Damned and The Clash. Music formed the core of Punk, with it’s origins heavily entrenched in the Do It Yourself aspect of music, in fact, knowing how to play an Instrument was a bonus, but not entirely necessary.

  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).
