This cool video is locked up in the Zuckerverse...
...but the theme of Poly Styrene's work in 1977 is pretty relevant to what I have seen as the M'don community.

Video reposted from @a.sense.of.style
X Ray Spex performing “Identity” at rehearsal rooms in London in September 1977.

“Identity!

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself?
Do you see yourself on the TV screen?
Do you see yourself in the magazine?
When you see yourself, does it make you scream?

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
Yeah!

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
When you look in the mirror, do you smash it quick?
Do you take the glass and slash your wrists?
Did you do it for fame? Did you do it in a fit?
Did you do it before you read about it?

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
Yeah!”

The punk explosion in the 70s saved music for me. Here is an example of the energy of the time, Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage Up Yours! from 1977
