The Crass was just a bunch of drunks. While the Clash was serious about making music for the people.
Its hypocritical posting "Punk is dead" and then posting "New" punk bands that are good. Because "punk is dead" right ?
That "Army" you speak of. Is just copying mostly failed generation. That only took fashion from the music and not the message. Punk is a flawed system.

I was refering to Indie Rock the genre (more extreme edgedor quirky alternative music) not their label status. Ian Mackaye's band Embrace and Guy Piccoloto's Rites Of Spring were the pioneers of Emo. I didn't say Minor Threat were Emo I said they were punk. ------>Punk/Emo Heritege<-------
Crass weren't drunks. I posted "Punk is Dead" because of the thread title it's pretty obvious I don't think so. Crass were a better band than the Clash ever was and they had a hell of a lot more to say. And yeh The Clash were fucking sellouts. The Sex Pistols against sexism?! I 'spose GG Allin was a woman's right advocate too.
The new bands I mentioned isn't copying any of the past acts they're doing their own thing and are influenced more by grindcore and alternative music than anything else. As far as these guys "taking the fashion from the music and not the message" you must be kidding me?! These guys are just as active (if not more) at protest as Fugazi was. Aus-Rotten for example were a massive driving force behind events and protests.
