The story of the Hungarian Punk

I was born in 1969. In simple reason that at the beginning - as a result of purely biological conditions collusion - it was almost impossible to be a full part of it. I was not very aware of what I'm historic time for credible witness, because while in 1980, the Zugló Kassák Club FM occurred in the evening, my people, and as a simple day-I was in the same institution in the afternoon dance on. Yes, the idea was not taking place at high-profile events. But I could still get something from the winds of time, because it is still distinctly remember, for example, I refused to grasp her hand. Probably rebellion. After all, home confused. This instinct in me hiding after a lifetime of determined my fate. After the lower grades of primary school successfully carried out willy - nilly - upper grades I got. Teens stupid the average tough guy from children immediately feel and believe that this should be at all costs, even at every step to demonstrate to the outside world. Therefore, to achieve this in a peculiar behaviors; for example: sputter, using terms or ugly gang formed. Lakótelepünkön a group of friends. which also has grown into such a band. At first moto they went around the circle panel houses around, and when a little older - so cooler - have already done to the same engine. The other day I saw a band. Car washed. Together, as they used to ... No, but back to the beginning. The coolness and the number one most popular hallmarks of the band. The band can write off the bench to iskolaköpenyre. It can be well informed academic conversation, perhaps due to this affair hurt us by phone, in my day when the upper section iártam. the most popular fashion It was called a pipe. The young people of school - who knows what reason - bag, walked, and this peculiar teaching tool storage device írogattak a ballpoint pen joint names. This, it seems, felt it important, then gathered during the break, and strange things were put forward: - I'm Karthágós head! - Said a nasty little boy. - Um, I Ricsés head! - He said in an even uglier. - Yes? So then I head hobos! - Seventy said proudly feel like the third, who was still hunched in addition also. In me, a certain friend of mine - we were outsiders - we surprised but liked the thing. Being rebels have decided that we can "will be heads, but along the lines that the average young stone kept absolutely not popular, so they look like a fool, and so revolting to our needs and we kívülállásunknak enforced. Observed, inquired, kept our eyes open ... One day he stood in the middle of the class, my legs spread in all, with my hand casually leaning on the teacher's table, declared a confident voice: - I'm Kalákás head! Frozen, dead silence. The room startled gazes connected together, and no one dared to speak for a while. The fly is buzzing could be heard. The two friends making use of silence "(Peter and the neighbor guy; fellow outsider position) lined up next to me and stated that it: - I'm Vadrózsás head! - Well, now I Celsiusos 100 Folk! We left the room without looking around. This rebellious world view that he had not subsided over the years, but even more extreme proportions. As I mentioned, particularly of young people and strange customs - as outsiders - contemplated with great interest, almost under the magnifying glass view of the phenomena, like some scientists unusual insect species. It observed, inter alia, also to our fellow human beings very great importance they attach to certain garments or clothing habits, and we found out that they in some way been linked to the music ízlésükkel. In it surprised. But has not ended for us the surprise series because of human stupidity during these testing we found that our fellow human beings cloak them, and this is actually their taste and their thinking is often changed, and are generally not based on self-interest, but for the simple reason that the moment, the rest of it does. being of young people (10-11 year-olds can do at this time) not so we got into the fashion and people are manageable depths of philosophizing, however, a man of action - and of course the rebels - since we decided to Revolutionized the dress culture of, say, a sort to wear, Once everyone is outraged, looking like a fool, and thus we get our needs and enforce rebel kívülállásunknak (see as above). So we formed a Neighbourhood of dude Zacskóslábú Group, which I think is still the most unique among the so-called "outsider dress code. The zacskóslábúság manifested that Zacskóslábú the streets driving in the private as well as office work (by the way, is a real Zacskóslábú not work because humiliating holding), is bound to both feet and his head in a single plastic bag to pull up, in walking about, while self-consciously behave, it did give the impression that the Zacskóslábú, as such, a better man than his companions. Strict rules were also out there, what kind of bag can apply who is a member of the movement. Scale-feet-center and only Coopos bag was pulled, the head of the most recommended product with Roltex-Clover logo, or even - in case of extreme necessity - Domusos. Contempt of its divisions had Zacskóslábúnak who menial things Ápisz There was inscribed. Such as it discredited the movement, if appropriate, rule out its members. Festive occasions - for example, the end of the school year, zacskóslábúság evolution anniversary - was authorized for a Marlboro bag is labeled. Unfortunately, the movement was able to produce a significant mass base behind him, the habits were not any less plausible, like any other counter-culture nonsense and ridiculous symbolism than not, yes. Anyway unfortunate fact that our movement's heyday, at the peak of bloom is counted only two people. I mentioned that I was a rebel szellemiségü man. But that has not talked to my family what traditions look back to this area. It said to have been my great-grandfather is still surging against something. That is exactly what was wrong with him, unfortunately I did not keep it in the family chronicle, but I heard from a variety of reminiscences that went in, he went to the street to the date foreign men stopped next to them and began dissatisfied in their ears' - No, because you'll see shawls! - He growled ominously for their respective great-grandfather, and also add more grit his teeth. - This will not end well! - Ígérgette, then he clenched his fist raised to the sky himself walked away muttering. My grandfather had been a real rebel. When in 1918 the Czech army came to occupy areas of Northern Hungary, he rose up there, and some three gendarmes (if it is the truth tsajádi Chronicle) several days Room defended from intruders. In any case, something definitely happened since then - due to this affair - my grandfather Silver Medal for bravery. My mother was very rebellious. Forty years resisted Janos Kadar. The open kitchen window, the whole housing estate ears bömböltette Radio Free Europe, and as much as forszírozta dictatorship, refused to join the party. ancestors radical view of life as outlined above has contributed significantly to the development of the world, in my view, until the eighth grade is confronted with management. The school hours, on my part, packázásból abuse of power and against the state of works were. Kémiafüzetem was a major feat. I sat in the pew and created. What about my ears came the vague duruzsolásból dörülöttem river, I instantly formed in pictorial form, and it took creations. For example, you hit my ears the next sentence that ". The alumina produced in the USSR" It was unto me as csataménnek the trumpet sounded. My eyes lit up my face appeared defiance and rebellion against the noble traits of power, and while no sneer distorted, I started self heroic deeds carried out and this declarative sentence sheets of double-sided booklets in the guise of a fresco realized. The letter "O" in place of two proud adorned with red stars, the letter "S" with a hammer and sickle changed course, running around Mars at the end of the sentence is in the hands of capital. Needless to say that the pages of this beautifully designed chemistry, or any other hour of work, of course, there was no room. I still do not understand why we did not fail at this object. This opposition between us and heaven was finally punk and a link. The punkról because here was not the case, since any-rock aristocratic arrogance averse to the state power but at that time we really did not like, and when the Dózsa High School began my secondary school studies at the above-mentioned institution is a professed opposition would have given students in line. So I did not like the Communists, the system, everything that is related to enthusiastically took my time after anything that ugly hatred was due qualifier targets. If someone in the hallway reproached the Soviet head of state, I stood behind and encouraging comments I reassured continuation of the activity. If my ears had to padtársamnak did not like the previous night's Soviet film - a smile appreciatively saw him mellészegődtem throughout the day, the ebédlőtől all the way home, when I did not take off my eyes, I keep smiling, and in my eyes the persecuted dissidents Circle of Fate community warm glow . One morning - we were in the autumn of 1983 - my school, some students nevezetü M. Alexander, mysterious face came in the first hour. Apparently, not paying attention, he sat deep in itself, sometimes arrogantly looked around to present students with contempt and hummed a few. He was visibly proud of something. After school he invited me to visit him, because he wants to show you something. - I can only imagine what might be ... - I muttered Alex has Tólényesen friend's apartment when he saw that the magnetofonkészülék dugdossa connector and the cartridge stones kept poking his eyes sparkling. Not really I shared enthusiasm, I had picked up in advance of a man's face who is acting and no longer endure the suffering for a long time at the end of tolerance. I trusted him because it will likely be too saves the sufficient level during the protracted enjoyment of the cultural filth. The device was first heard muffled noise and then a voice said the following at a glance: "1982nd Here come the New Year. They have disabled both of them. Ladies and gentlemen, ETA string quartet. Anarchy!" The last word echoed around for a while, it seems it was the most important of the first sentence and then re-started with a dull noise levels mentioned above. After a while, the owner of the last-mentioned rough voice started to show: , Fölfordulás, anarchy The whole world is a big mistake The example always proves If you Dulu. anarchy! Either red or white or, The streets are flowing with blood. Russia, America A big cunt, anarchy! " That's how I got into contact with the punk. The tape of ETA called the band a half hour of show, and the song "Wooded Peter" in CPg featured in all this, of course they did not know the lyrics did not understand all the music, as such, did not realize that absolutely plays a role in tinnitus in bringing about. but it was obvious to me that this is a very strong word-thinking otherwise. The tape, of course, I immediately took it home and duly savored. The music of course, did not like it at first, but over it easily overlooked, since the show it was telefonlehallgatásról, Stalin, Ceaucescuról (on him particularly angry) and had heard a "Work and bread!" Song was, of which almost I could just do the chorus as the return line decipher, so full of a topic that is a rebel opposition in fits listen, if you like it or not, at least I do then something like this thought in my head soon teamed up with the formula:... punk = system hostility at first as a bit disturbed by the adverse circumstances, if the punk emerged in England, so what the hell they want to rebel there when they do not have communism ?! But I quickly dismissed this unpleasant thoughts from myself, and from the moment I was going to self-consciously punk life vocation. Then, as later illustrated a broader insight into the things little by little, I realized that here was not just that. First band Do you know three chords Establish ensemble! - It was the password 1976 in London, and Mark Perry, the Sniffin 'Glue fanzine in nevezetü also showed these props, with science, thought enough of an amateur punk band to get started. The two of us in the neighbor dude, 1983, in Budapest, we did not have this kind of childish bragging opportunity tax cicomákkal as a single chord knowledge, but at all costs we wanted to express our dissatisfaction over the state of things with, so we decided to convert the band. After the formation of brief thought, he took the name of the AVO, (A forrmáeió employee Alexander Basil campaign. Or Revesz Against Propaganda Department as well as trying as Neighbor guy definitely was sure győződvee. That the Pyramid was a singer of "I did not know. That way it hurts" song was I going slowly growing from the tap, because certainly the party behind it.) by name because they wanted to give the association. where everyone is outraged, looking like a fool, and so we get kívülállásunknak rebel and assert our needs (see than a few cards ahead). Besides, we wanted to make fun of those in power in power, and this has done for AVO name is superbly suited. The band later in the spring of 1984, known as the Royal Hungarian Fire Orchestra (MKT) insulted the dictatorship. which - although all our weight behind were - did not want to change repressive policies. regardless of all this what we were doing, it was revolutionary. Those who listen hindsight, the remaining recording into the elcsodálkozhat. it could be that something so prevent its age. The music is simple, monotonous and primitive. Harmonize there was no sign anywhere, but precisely from was unusual and novel. The changes were dissonant music, and did not fit the melody a few seconds earlier. The singer - usually Neighbor guy (Thomas Samodai) singing, my guitar and I played drums with a friend - of course, he could not sing, but he said in the text without stopping, until the number was over. Choruses were not. The lyrics were like new. It blamed the system, of course, communism, it is natural - one at the beginning of the '80s punk band that it is waiting for the people - but especially in Central Europe, and even Hungarian angles as seen everything. By the way, the secret of experimental sound very easy. We had no idea of ​​the rules for playing music, making music because we could do nothing, however, we have successfully avoided such a formulaic solutions and ideas al calmaztunk, an educated, so in some way been influenced by musicians never thought it would not come. I can say without any bias, that if at that time we would not have 16-year-old boys, and we can at least once, I'd be legends today. Well, not really thinking about what the action. The band eventually caused the death of professionalism, it is the eternal enemy, which dig his grave every individual thought. What happened was that in the summer of 1985 got to know the guitar skills. This peculiar aesthetic concept called a Gabor Banki, curly-haired boy appeared in the guise. It was not quite the same taste in music, because at that time we had with The Stranglers, and the Dead Kennedys over enthusiastic, however, he was much more conservative this area, yet we took prompt members of the band within seconds. The secret Banki success of the "back then, with the creation of possessed considerable skills From the moment a while boundless enthusiasm manufactured in középszerűbbnél mediocre templates, corny inserts a goal was just.. I speak as a true" band fit, so chords, choruses, solos. Who Knows? Our story home at the time of the punk scene eerily resembled a Georgian county clerk Mikszath body. Thurócz get into the main county magistrate, or getting into a well-known punk band; well, all without favoritism seemed equally impossible. So they tried to invoke the recommendation of the would-be rebels to the coveted goal. These recommendations are of course moving at different levels, so the effect was different. For example, a company in one easy-punk, "Hares" are often members acknowledged there was little for salvation. The often one like three, four, we had to show up. Higher importance on the "old faces" a genuine, original old face knowledge has been greatly paved the purpose of the prospective outsider to the inclusion of the old faces a competition for the same as the prestigious wines with those of the young punk-marked so haughtily snapped... I have my buddy in Diana, who has been fancies '81 "; Count companies like to brag carelessly in a 1722 vintage wine of Rakoczi period. Best protekciónak course, the band members expected. One such sentence: I help the singer pal:; "Every Saturday or sipping drinks along with bassist T-34." Guaranteed respect aroused. There were, of course, foolish zealots who sometimes fall into the trap that the facts because of their boastful claims unfortunate lack of imagination soaring with supplemented. These things sometimes worked, sometimes not. The latter often had unpleasant consequences. I witnessed one such case. In the summer of 1986 it occurred in Vörösmarty Square. Great company, and was just the mood was tense as some old faces moderately unsatisfactory that their belongings nyikhajok (New punks) pollute the environment of the business had grown gray in honor rebels. Sizzling air. The youngsters cast down were due nyikhaj when one has tried to get out of corporal punishment more realistic danger that names began throwing things: - I have a buddy Rat! A dubious assertion was accompanied by rumbling and humming. A somewhat justifiably, because only in the vintages and only about fifteen Rat Budapest were registered. rat was too much supply, so the trading price soared, according to eternal law is quite low. He felt that the youngsters, so the offensive again: - And I know the air-releasable bald too! This was slightly more foganatja, although disbelief offensive connotation is still overshadowed by the discourse. To calm things down somewhat, and that the remaining focal points can overcome skepticism, the young outsider everything on a plate and casually tossed: - Yeah, me and my friend in Japan.! This is one of the skinheads. who had just a few steps away. somewhat indifferent to illustrate the scene, raised his eyebrows, walked slowly came quite close to the delikvenshez, pointed a finger at his chest, then eagerly asked: - You know about Japan? The man bit frightened, but there was no turning back. - Yes, I know in Japan! - Really? - Of course, my best mate. The big skinhead pleased snatched up pants, good-naturedly listened intently looked at the audience and briefly he said, - I am in Japan. I was a punk The hall still stands a floor-length down to the huge Venetian mirror. These decorative home furnishing accessories from the estate of her grandmother still remained in the family's possession. Grandma was unfortunately far from a proud family traditions and was unable to carry out the rebellion. Oaf way, idly looking to play their hands of the Bolsheviks downtown business, and not even been able to get at least his voice crisp comment on eviction of transport workers engaged in physical faults, protruding ears, acne and maybe kinship relations. Unfortunately I could not be next to lead the fight. The mirror is luckily escaped the attention of the enemy, and so is the property of the family today, as I have said. This smug look on his face standing in front of the mirror in September 1985. I consider myself standing looking at a clock, and my activities seem to have not much I wished to finish because I wanted to be treated more thorough and exhaustive examination of how I look in my rear view of the new boots. An effort I turned my head and my intention at all costs to look over my shoulder, which did not really want to succeed. - Ha! - Dohogtam myself glumly and then an impulse I stopped so far futile attempts, he changed tactics, driven tucked between my legs with my body, with my head; so I was able to look behind me through. Satisfied, looking at the scenery unfolds before me. The boot also had a rear view of where it had to be, he proudly bloomed out from under a properly folded jeans trousers. - You're beautiful! - I heard my mother's voice from the direction of the kitchen, who seemed to have witnessed the series of events described above. I egyenesedtem annoyed face up, and marched toward the little dressing room bevégezni the operation. philistine! - I said contemptuously, and a strong gesture sealed the doorknob room door. Conditions of punk clothing "If someone undertakes a spiritual-ideological community of a body. taking a serious responsibility on his shoulders. in strict compliance with the rules it is only possible to participate in some events. the member is right when aligned with some never-invested, yet existing standards, but too traditional in appearance, lack of individuality bad points is the career point of view. The outer tickets for events, gatherings, mass rallies on the occasion of voluntary inspectors checked regularly. The amount of those charges in terms of number of units are often just below the total number of members. " In 1985, the punk had its unwritten dress code. Most of these are very specific, and as a special kortünetnek count, I think - if only because of folkloric values ​​- worth preserving for posterity. "The rebellion essential accessory for your boots. This garment Noble that is of paramount importance, but also provides more specific information as well as the social status of the wearer's society secure out-stone. ' " (Rebel's Guide, page 2) The lowest level of the hierarchy were MHSZ-boots rebels. They all looked down, and if it is aggravated by sin that brings together leather strap boots stems not been removed, nor were discussed with them. In terms of prestige were located in the middle is a police officer or other foreign footwear may operate. This included also the person wishing to conceal MHSZbakancsos was to footwear changed the color black shoe cream, and above all, removed the earlier mentioned tax shameful contempt occasion leather strap. No, and the highest round were those who wore Martens boots. That is what ultimately was the reason, I do not understand to this day. The ladder is located at the bottom of the unfortunate páriákat often leveled a special indicator, scornful glances. fensőbbséges and manners in tow. This particular marker was a short term, which ran as follows: "NYU punk" This initiates among meant that the person who fit the negative stipulation, new to the profession inexperienced, do not miss the point, and deeds maturity. the movement. thus such are calculated for the man who has the common sense he dragged his feet, which just falls into their hands, and other unnecessary things he did not care. in contrast, Martens boots barrel elite been so irresponsible "serious amounts hübelebalázs. paid in order to be able to say. feet boots manufactured by the renowned Dr. Martens caught him in the rebellion, on behalf of an ideology that is all the rage disorder, and, do it yourself! " principles set flag. They understand the point. I note that I was a supporter of the golden mean in this area. I would have to issue a pile of money on such nonsense accountable crazy, but I did not want to stand out in a bad light, MHSZ my boots carefully suvickoltam black, leather strap and some of the very first time, in accordance with the regulations removed. That's another matter, so that the boots are actually much more aesthetic. Not long after the problem is resolved happily, when I acquired a beautiful Polish police boots that looks deceptively looked like the shoes, which Jean Jacques Burneh * hatched against the world. (The Stranglers bassist of the English. Among the band's new sound of rock and brutal bass-historical importance. All the album's masterpiece from 1977 to 1982. Since then ielentéktelen.) In the days and events experienced eminent rebellion accessory today is my property. Sometimes it can take up when they capture the mood. But back to the point before too overwhelmed sentimentality. The corset modalities It could not be an easy task for a beginner who has the bold idea occurred to him that punk declares himself overnight. It is not enough that the boots were much hassle, then started the whole fuss in front laces. In this respect, the rules were simple and clear, though no less dogmatic. - The color white corset! - Said the public firmly. The regulations do not tolerate any contradiction There were though some dissident elements who conspired to brown color, and under extremes despite all the warnings held their positions. Emlegetni I heard a small fraction headquartered in Budapest, which set the black flag. The Vörösmarty tér punks among the delegation visited them to be nice so if you need force, but force a renitenseket to change their position. But they could say anything, it was to them like peas thrown on the wall and desperate delegation soon after he returned disappointed look on his face. But these were all along only sporadic, isolated events, and the vast majority still white corset rebelled exemplary uniformity, all the way until the fall of 1987, when someone once remarked casually: The white corset burning enough! - (At the time, there were no such nonsense that white is worn on the right guard. Reds and anarchists. Punk said the scandal and not some világmegváltásról. Not to mention the fact that punk was a communist put it mildly, is unthinkable.) I looked at his feet, and shocked that you really can not wear white, but red. The next day I went to the red Roltex fűzőért, but I have found only green and blue, and a good half-hour turkáltam among the belongings. Finally, weary of things and kifakadtam: The hell is going cramping here! No matter what color you string together the damn boots ?! I bought the blue one, and from then on something like that is not dealt with. Unfortunately, such a simple thing intellincia and insight to it - I know from experience - is loaded with some age required. The pants of fuss Fortunately, the customary number of individual initiative broke out, and all the pants hordhatta true punk spirit; Thus, a color and set round, it was favored, one important caveat: the pants in no way looked like, so that an ordinary citizen can safely absorb. As I said, the rules were not so, but there was a costume that is so often happened that I can safely be called popular, and thus could not undo the things that credibility.
