Punk changed everything. As well as celebrating DIY ethos and anti-musicality, from 1977 onwards, certain things were just instantly uncool: Hippy values, Long hair, and liking bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or Bad Company. Doing any one of these things, especially coming from the punk scene, was a treasonous act. At least according to the British music press. And for a surprisingly long time too. So when in the mid-80s, the Cult quickly cycled through punk, goth and psychedelia to become a long-haired hard-partying blues rock band, their desire to live life loud was active rebellion.
