"Punk, therefore, should be viewed in the same light as Dada, surrealism, situationism, and other 'serious' cultural movements. These movements didn’t just limit their criticisms to the art world or culture industry. At their height they opposed all aspects of a pointless order, rejecting hard boundaries between art and life; politics, economics, or culture; political activity and artistic creation. They also often allied themselves with various strains of anarchism or socialism. If Reagan was aestheticizing politics, then it was the job of punks to politicize aesthetics" (daqui sobre We're Not Here to Entertain: Punk Rock, Ronald Reagan, and the Real Culture War of 1980s America de Kevin Mattson)

"Ninguém tem que tirar a gravata, ninguém tem que vir de mota, ninguém tem que vir de capacete, ninguém tem que pegar na mulher ao colo a beber vinho branco em frente à Acrópole. É possível todos de gravata, todos sem capacete, com as mulheres a fazerem o que entenderem, ninguém a ver a Acrópole" (Augie "Mad Dog" SS, em versão straight edge)
