Is Amy Winehouse the last vestige of punk rock?
Punk rock – at least in the UK – had a strong sociopolitical streak (e.g Sex Pistols and anarchy, The Clash & socialism etc). Obviously the style of music is totally different, but I understand that you weren’t talking about the music. Amy Winehouse is nihilistic all right, but its pre-punk decadence/bohemianism, not punk rock.
