Today's "piercing/excessive tattooing/freaky deaky hairstyle" stuff is
all copied from the punks of the late 70's. Nothing new in it at all.
Today, those 70's punks have outgrown the need for attention and are
playing with their grandchildren. Within a few years, today's copycats
will have outgrown this phase. That's why I simply ignore them.
"Kynt" is just another flamboyant gay blade, albeit in a Halloween
costume.
