Music and culture
Sir, — Matthew Thomas (July 19) says that listeners to punk and new wave music look and dress like morons.
(A moron is a person who is intellectually handicapped.) I find such intolerance incredible from someone who says he is only 21. Like the Prime Minister, he should try listening to some of the “new” music, before he shows ignorance. Young people, adopt the puhli and new wave styles :to’Tgain identity and security, in our oppressive - , and,; i alienating ' society.—Yotirs, etc.,’ M. G, GREY. /.. July'2o, 1980. ..x „ ■
