Punk Music vs. Hippies

The guest lecture in class today was very interesting in my opinion. Sure I have heard plenty of different punk music/bands however I did not know very much about the sub culture of punk music. One interesting piece that I took away from the lecture was the quote about punks being "hippies with teeth," many people took this as meaning that they were very different. In my opinion it just was the instructors way of saying they were an edgier movement than the hippies. If you look at the two movements side by side, sure there were plenty of differences but they had some very similar anti-establishment ideas that cannot be ignored.
