      @@seth5143I’m pretty sure no one here is accusing Iggy of sainthood. Iggy’s drug-fueled escapades and mistreatment of people has been very well documented over the years, but I can honestly say that after having met and hung out with him, he’s an extremely friendly and intelligent guy. Then again when I met him he had been clean and sober for a few years. I’m sure it was a very different story when he was using. Supposedly he was clean around the time of this interview. He famously moved to Berlin with Bowie and kicked the dope. Considering Berlin was the heroin capital of the world at that time, it was pretty ironic… but for a few years there Iggy was done with all that stuff.
      Anyway, point being that when he’s not using or drinking, he’s naturally a very pleasant person. I have a very strong feeling that in this particular situation, the host was probably goading and antagonizing him. This clip begins mid-interview. Who knows what was going on beforehand or when the cameras weren’t going?

      I think hating labels just for the sake of it. Is just as unpractical as ataching yourself to them desperately.
      Labels are useful. Just like words they try to describe something give what people feel, a movement or a certain sound and type of music a name. It seperates (people) and defines but simultaneously also connects and makes it easier for people to bond and find groups of likeminded people they connect well with.

      Mattis Stürner Well, now we're just so used to "punk" being the term for it, not with any inherent connotations (negative or positive)... But I'd imagine that when it was first called "punk" it was like calling a person a punk... like... it was not a flattering term, it was an insult. I don't know if this is true but it would certainly explain Iggy's reaction

      "i am so punk i hate punk™" No, that's not the context. "Punk" meant roughly speaking "loser" and was used by some music critics to describe some rock and roll condescendingly. "Punk" was first used to describe Iggy in 1970. It wasn't his idea. He thought he was being insulted because he's smart.

    Iggy is talking about the _term_ punk rock and not the music. Moreover, his take on the term in 1977 came before it was embraced by "punk rockers" themselves, which is not unusual when an epithet is applied to a person or group in an attempt to demean them. Punkers took the power out of the word by taking it back.
    So Iggy wasn't against Punk at all; he was against the people who were against the music.

    • @Shikta-poobah67
      @Shikta-poobah67 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Most likely unique because he was one of the main architects of the music and scene that came to be known as “punk” (which explains why he absolutely hated the term back in ‘77). Imagine creating something that you poured your heart and soul into, and then some journalist comes along and slaps a label on it that at the time carried nothing but negative connotations… and the media and the music industry just run with it. No wonder Iggy’s so adamantly against it (the term/label, not the music itself).
      Anyway, I know your comment is over 6 years old, but it’s one of the more interesting comments here so I felt compelled to respond.

    The point he is making here is how the term "punk rock" brought to the mainstream media is being used, he is making a point that "old folks" and "mainstream media", mostly represented by the conservative section of society, are overusing it or using the term "punk" to disqualify, satirize and satanize the movement.

    • @fakeis751
      @fakeis751 Před 6 lety +2

      i know. okay, maybe not every label ever is originally hated by those who pioneered it, but there seems to be a lot of that, especially in the last forty or so years - starting with punk, actually. shoegaze, grunge, math rock, or even broader terms like alternative or indie seem to be hated by those who are considerated the creators of that.

    • @ealing456
      @ealing456 Před 6 lety +4

      Very true about music journalists defining genres and then musicians hating the coinage. Don't even get started on 'post-rock' or 'djent', for example! I think many embrace it in the end because it's marketable to have an umbrella under which people can discover their music, but I can understand how frustrating that might be for bands.

      Yeah man, it's all just marketing. I mean it's not like the entire purpose of language and words is to make it possible to express thoughts by attributing different sounds to different things and ideas. That's just unthinkable.
      "blue and green are just marketing terms to sell products... A COLOUR IS JUST A COLOUR, labels keep your mind narrow"
      "pizza and sushi are just marketing terms to sell products... good food is GOOD FOOD, labels keep your mind narrow"
      Why stop at rock n roll anyway? How is that not a marketing term? good music is GOOD MUSIC...labels, musical or political, only limit one's sphere of influence, and keep their mind narrow

    • @hskmmk116
      @hskmmk116 Před 5 lety +2

      Punk was literally assembled by a boutique owner and a businessman from England named Malcolm McLaren. He dressed local faces he could market extravagantly and unbeknownst to him at the time John Lyndon later went on to achieve greatness with PiL. All of this is talked about by him personally in Sex Pistols documentary "The Filth and the Fury". So much for authenticity and punk being anti-establishment.

  • @marksoquetjr4693
    @marksoquetjr4693 Před 4 lety +5

    He was being honest and revolutionizing rock and roll. If you want punk, he really was the first. Before it was an instrumental thing to do. Rock and Roll was the first to dive in vocals that were not trained singers which stemmed from blues/country/folk vocalists. The first genre punk song was "Rumble" which came out in 1958 about gangs I believe, hence punk. However, a mixture of The Doors, Velvet Underground, and blue-collar Detroit came The Stooges. To me was the feeling that punk had an originator with Iggy Pop. He was going against the grains while growing up middle class but living in a trailer (folks were very frugal) he became a musician with outcasts at/from school. The Beatles had their punk era stemming from wearing all black leather outfits, damaged instruments and performing in Germany of all places to fitting/ matching suits, new equipment and bringing in Ringo Starr to create a suitable image to sell and produce quality music. Creatively in the their minds they were punk (doing their own music and seeing where things can lead in directions no muscians have taken) but had the money, production quality and fame to lead their way into experimentation. However, The Stooges had no money or thinking ahead towards the future as a career until Electra Records (The Doors' label) saw them perform in New York. He/they gave a future of what is to come. Supposedly it killed hippy music (along with Charles Manson murders, the disastrous free Rolling Stones concert with The Hells Angels as security and a new wave of film making) gave them an opportunity to record their music. And now for something completely different...

    the stooges are garage rock like most 60s/early 70s "proto punk" bands. Garage rock was punk music until the ramones came along and music media labeling them and bands alike "punk" turning it into somewhat a separate genre. Similar thing happened with the grunge movement. Nirvana seen themselves as a punk band till good ol mtv came along with the "grunge" label.

      Be that as it may, Punk revived Iggie's career. When he came to San Francisco in the late seventies, I went to or three of his gigs. Without Punk, I would never have heard of him. And I was not alone. But saying that you hate the term "Punk Rock" is totally Punk Rock. The label was first applied to the Ramones, and at first, the movement was noted for it's diversity. The bands did not dress alike, did not look alike, and did not sound alike. But later on, a uniformity of styles and sounds developed, and that was the beginning of the end, as far as it being a movement that pushed the edges.

      Today it has some irony to it, perhaps to a sad degree considering what passes for 'punk rock', but back then (in photo-punk era), it wasn't a term lovingly embraced by the bands. Sex Pistols had a similar disdain for the label, I recall hearing another major punk band say it but I'm blanking on their name. Maybe it was Ramones, but i'm not certain.
