Sorry for my absence guys! I just didn't think and didn't take my laptop home over Easter so here is an overly large post with half the stuff i found, ill put the rest up over the next couple of days!
The lecturer in this video raises some interesting points about Punk fashion and instead of talking abouts its deconstruciton of society how it builds itself up out of chosen parts of society in a DIY manner, and how the Punk rock movement encourages the growth of the individual instead of the selction of the famous through celebrity culture

And in this video, the young woman talks about how the Punk Aesthetic allowed her to express herself rather than conform to societies idea of "success" and "rock" and how it demolished societies pressures to achieve these, however instead of looking at it as destructive she views it as a way to view herself through from her own perspective, and the liberation and self acceptance it gives those who want freedom for the commercial machine.

Found this study interesting as it talks about the sexuality of the punk Dress code and how its more prevalent in Countries where dress codes are more regulated, suggesting how much Punk differentiates all over the world in response to cultural pressures and to deconstruct them requires individual responses from the subculture depending on geographical location.

just a short one, but this view on Punk fashion being contradictory of its aims gives an interesting insight as too questioning what it actual achieves by using societies own stereotypes in order to subvert and counter act itself. By conforming to the stereotype isn't that doing exactly what Punk was trying to escape in the first place?
