This is what they wanted, wasn’t it? A bit of anarchy in the UK? Sticking it to the establishment, two fingers to the governing elite. Surely Brexit is the most punk thing to have happened since, well, punk. Except that punk wasn’t very “punk” at all. It was a relatively small, principally middle-class phenomenon, and its importance and influence have been mythologised and exaggerated ever since. Because some of those studious kids who swapped prog rock for punk rock went on to be the affluent, Clash-worshipping executives at the BBC and Channel 4 who keep regurgitating falsehoods about how “punk changed the world”. They are the very establishment they once purported to despise. So of course, they will have all voted Remain. Change the world is the last thing they want to do.
Why aren’t “the punks” more excited by Brexit?
