Punk rockers at Beijing's MIDI festival.
Now in colour (I preferred the black and white version but I would be interested to see what people think...)

This is officially three times the amount of punks I saw during all of my time spent in Beijing.
It's like 1982 all over again!

@ Eric Flexyourhead What happened 1982?
Eric Flexyourhead (62 months ago | reply)
@marcus_Z: what happened in 1982? A lot in the world of punk rock/hardcore... and these guys look like they were lifted straight off the back cover of a record by one of those spikey-haired UK punk bands circa '82. ;)

@Eric Flexyourhead WOW Thanks alot! I knew nothing about 1982 except in that year my mom gave birth to her only child : D

Where was that festival?
China Chas (62 months ago | reply)
Arndsan: Funny you say that - they certainly looked the part but we saw them later in the moshpit and they seemed rather timid!
KonradS: It was the MIDI festival in Haidian, Beijing. It takes place every May holiday and is probably China's best rock festival.

what's the famous quote again...?
"Punk died the minute someone said Punk's not dead"

@ +graemetric- it sounds like something my mom said: you are not young anymore when people start saying "you look so young!".

This is what I would have done with my May holiday if I had stayed in China.

better in b&w!
in 1982 I still hadn't hair, but if I had had them I would combed them in that way.
.... conditional is still too hard for my head!
