"I don’t think punk rock has to be a sort of three-chord thing; in fact I don’t really think that’s punk rock. That’s playing a formula that’s been set out before you. I think punk rock is doing something that you like, and not giving a shit if anybody else doesn’t like it."

Instead of “doing art” the cool kids were now, in Greif’s words “doing products”."
