When does/did post PUNK begin

Yes, there still are "PUNK BANDS" (I suppose) but, it's dead and when did it die? That picture of Syd down there, some say right there, obliteration was required (so many cheat)and, in new york, all the bands that try, they sort of arn't punk, they're...something else (as basquiat and his suits) X (the great acomplishment of the 80's)and "hardcore" prevailed, and hard core really lead to Curt Cobain as the great accomplishment. ( Week his death was announced every restaurant etc in lower Manhattan was playing doll parts...) About the time Basquiat died, all of so-ho and the galleries creeping south and east went with him.

like a bomb blast was left behind and GG Alan was probably the great success of that era or irony . When I started showing around 1990 I, for what ever reason, presumed or felt some sort of POP art was up next (while high in the sky like Bukowski's Helicopters came...the Internet. if not art, there would be 2 dimensional images everywhere.) I had a day job, but it really was pretty bleak down there. I always vote for David W, but there was no great art movement; one of the local weeklies even ran a prophetic article (many read it and commented on it) on NO ART, which one of the locals had actually proposed in the early sixties, taking a space and just dumping garbage out on the floor; various galleriests visited and gave some thought, but decided to go with with POP ART instead. With the Media flood of so many cable channel and the Internet, art, even punk, might become a private hobby like poetry.

That's my "Bobmobile" paintinmg shows at cbgb's 313 gallery, 1991
