This is also a
line in the
Dead Kennedys song "
Chickenshit Conformist." It's meant to
criticize the
fashion punks in the mid-
80s hardcore scene around the
SF bay area. They would come to
shows, beat people up, and be a general
disturbance. They held none of the beliefs that
real punks held
sacred at the time.
On top of that, they would give people shit because they didn't have a 3-foot mohawk or weren't wearing ripped leather.
"Harder core than thou for a year or two,
Then it's time to get a real job.
Others stay home, it's no fun to go out
Where the gigs are wrecked by gangs and thugs."
That Jello Biafra was quite a lyricist.
