BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[T & P]

Does punk pasta get greeted by a hail of spit as it comes out the kitchen?

Asking for a friend.

Swastika-shaped fusilli.

Could the thread title be change to 'Any old fucking pasta pun I can come up with'?

It'd make a better thread than the current one.

you're right, its pasta joke now

 

[hitmouse]

I suppose Rip Rigatone And Panic would be more post-punk pasta?

 

[Santino]

It'd make a better thread than the current one.

I agree - the sight of men denying or downplaying society's hatred of women is deeply unedifying. I'm glad you've come round to this point of view.

Can't you think of a fusili?

The pesto's yet to come.

Looks like a positive and thoughtful appropriation of the punk ethos. It can probably improve the image of punk in general if anything. What's the problem?

Most people think "punk" means smashing stuff up, getting drunk and eating meat. It would be good to change that perception, and I think this pasta company could do it.

In the US, "punk" was often used as a derogatory term, before its music links.

Apparently used by William Shakespear to describe prostitutes in Measure for Measure, and The Merry Wives of Windsor.

So actually it was hip punk bands using rebel language to sell their stuff.

The King has a ‘taffeta punk’ in All’s Well That Ends Well.

Wasn't disco out of gay clubs originally? Bit more subversive than the musings of Jimmy Pursey.

There was definitely more than a whiff of homophobia in the ‘Disco Sucks’ movement

There was definitely more than a whiff of homophobia in the ‘Disco Sucks’ movement

and racism...

I reckon the answer to this is to just listen to music that represents the dialectical synthesis of punk and disco, although I'm now stuck on whether the best example of this is New Order and Factory Records stuff, Chicago Wax Trax stuff, or yer 2000s electroclash like Peaches and Le Tigre and that. Or something else.
