As I was taking a moment, I came across something a friend who is wiser than I wrote about punk:
"part of the problem with gen x is many of them grew up with a satire of fascism. punk tried to fling the symbols of authority back in the hypocritical faces of the parents & teachers who "let it happen" or enabled it or kept fascism's structures & accidentally (mostly) made fascism look cool.

"you can see this in the early Ramones use of the swastika or in Jubilee (1978) where the legitimately best performance is Jordan as Amyl Nitrate doing a satire of "Rule, Britannia!" the punk aesthetic was too powerful for its own good & neo nazis were able to cling on in punk scenes for decades." 🧵 3/
