The History of Alt-Rock: Chapter 4
Manage episode 332601468 series 2527351

And to make matters worse, everyone seemed to be going on strike; from coal miners to gravediggers...unemployment was high, especially amongst young people...
The once mighty British Empire was in big trouble...there was a sense that it was all over...done...there was no future...
Complicating this was the class system...those at the top (including the Monarchy) kept on doing whatever they wanted to do while everyone else–well, let them eat cake, essentially...(I know I’m getting my countries and monarchies mixed up, but you get the point)...
Something had to blow, especially with the young...and when it did, it blew up real good...
