Join the club - we'll overcome this hideous affliction.
USHC/Punk is absolutely amazing. Just off the top of my head as an (entirely subjective) small sampling, how do you fuck with:
Angry Samoans
Antiseen
Bad Brains
Battalion Of Saints
Black Flag
Blight
Chrome
The Dwarves
The Germs
Husker Du
Minor Threat
The goddamn Minutemen!!
Negative FX
Neos
NECROS
Pere Ubu (and by the same token, Rocket From The Tombs)
Screamers
X
The Weirdos
Zero Boys (I mean, come ON)
...and that's the very tip of the iceberg. Difficult to debate the value of American vs. British Punk, but dismissing America out of hand because of a few poncing New York fashionistas and thick-skulled SxE kids...you simply can't do it. And even then, the New York scene is entirely redeemed by the existence of The Ramones and the warp-speed guitar gnarl of Von LMO.
[I must also admit to loving SS Decontrol equally for their horribly obnoxious personalities, ridiculous lyrics and stupidly fun songs.]

What would a Dissenus documentary actually be about, though?
I can see it involving Adam Curtis blaming neoliberal economic policy for stagnation in the grime scene, the legacy of Baudrillard and his relevance to horror films, pornography and online computer games and a comparison between the rise of Islamism and - heh, why not? - the straigh-edge movement.

I met Joe Strummer in the early/mid 90s, he came in the exchange in notting hill where i used to work and had a go on a guitar or something.
I didn't know who he was because before acid house came out I was into Parliament and Earth Wind And Fire and jazz funk.
But the other people who worked in the shop seemed pleased.
Also Steve New from the Rich Kids used to come in on the regular. They were something to do with punk in America or something, I was told.

big audio dynamite released a record on def jam. it was the only record that swapped up the early red and black sleeves of the first 10 records - released in 1985 it was pink and black leopard skin, produced by rick rubin, funny eh?
i never liked the clash at all, i never have, i'm sorry about that i just can't find a thing i like about them, i used to listen to big audio dynamite tho, maybe i'm a bit too young for the clash.
i'm not sure how they really helped invent acid house but i can see how the instinct passes on, some of the players, and some of the attitude.
no big black, surely very silly.No nation of ulysees - the absolute antithesis to grunges overlarge shirtly dressed pain and angst, hugely pretentious, well dressed and tough, couldn't play much better than nirvana.
no ' shelter '-
god so much US hardcore is just self righteous angry boys who don't like their christian dad, but behave a hell of alot like him int they?
