Lydia Lunch Interviews on Videowave -- Oct. 1983, Nov. 1985 

it feels dead when people stop inviting you to the cool new thing. most large melting pot cities have their perennial underground scenes. sometimes they come and go so fast the mainstream never even hears about it. the trick is to publicise your scene by populating it with plenty of photographers, journalists and a peppering of famous people passing through

@@tartanhandbag lol underground in the rehash & phone addiction era

@@absrene Thats really odd because NYHC was exploding and evolving or at least was about to...

Yeah, it's a relative thing!

i am just some dude i dont matter, but this has always been my opinion or view on things. and this sort of goes for all musical subcultures that have come and gone, pretty much when they first start they are very small and the people in them are strange and creative and it is interesting, then as it starts to get any exposure at all more and ore people slowly then quickly flood in. but it is a different quality of people, essentially it is followers and not leaders or creators and scenes become watered down very fast and with in a very short time of just a couple of years the truly creative people that made that scene will have moved onto something else. for me personally by the time the 80s hit the interesting people in the punk scene had moved on and it had turned into the hardcore scene which i have never been impressed with, and yeah now that scene was exploding but we all know it was just tons and tons of boring uninteresting suburban kids exploding with youthful angst but no creativity or originality. now through the years i constantly meet people that were those youthful suburban hardcore kids and they all want to argue and picture themselves as having been so cool and interesting, i thought i was so cool and interesting when i was young too but i have gotten older and i have gotten over myself. lets try another view, i have for decades always heard people ask what was the difference between the American punk scene and the English punk scene. and this is how i have always seen it. the American scene at the very start of it all was made up of people that were already in their 20s and even 30s, it was people that really were sort of outcast and had already spent years in weird art scenes. where as the English scene was primarily a lot of young rebellious teenagers, they saw it as something new nd exciting and it exploded fast. and the publicity was off the charts as young arrogant kids courted the attention , and hey when we were skinny teenagers with weird hair and clothes we looked great and took nice pictures and really influenced our peers. and so the chaos of the media coverage made its way to America and our young angry rebellious teens were excited by it and thats what led to that big hardcore scene, as people took the most simple and basic aspects of punk "fast and simple and hard" and extreme it. to me that was boring and uncreative and so were the majority of kids i would have been meeting that were into it. so again while the kids were flooding into the hardcore scene and it was exploding, the slightly older more creative and interesting kids had moved on from punk and were playing what would come to be called post punk, still experimenting and growing. so yeah im sure for Lydia who had been there early on, the early 80s hardcore scene was probably boring as hell and filled with people that were already much younger than her and what the hell do they have interesting to say to her? what complaining about Reagan and Thatcher, or their parents, teachers and the police. what riveting conversation.

They are not in the same building.......

@Kitty Foreman criticizing women is sexist

I’m not so sure about that. Courtney probably pulled from a lot of different people, but frankly if she was ripping anyone off if was very obviously Kat Bjelland, though they were at one point friends.

Courtney Love, that's a laugh. It's pretty bizarre she was once in Faith No More.

*`don´t go there´ (agAin!!)*

Didn't notice it until your comment but her pose in the thumbnail confirms this!

She’s extremely homely

@@isruliuspoppycock!

wow

oK 🤔

so deep huh? gosh i feel like an adult among emotionally inept teenagers

@@axelcats LMFAO

She got caught up in her words a couple times

That’s sad that your adore this airhead

Sexiest woman ever? Lol. I would get my eyes checked.

U must be crazy

but sometimes out of nowhere someone seems to understand. and thats enough for the next decade.

What about the interview she had with Joe Rogan?

@@afrothunder142 LOL

She’s a shithouse mate

It is on schedule to be converted and restored, but given the current circumstances, within the next century

They were talking about Daceteria

the incels lol

Not as cringy as any of her interviews.

Why?

She was a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race.

Cuz that's smt she had said in previous interviews w the Immaculate Consumptive. I guess she just changed it on the spot because it was no longer applicable at that moment

no offense but have you seen the hair in your videos

@@hjjabaljlaka5695 none of that is my hair, genius

The '80s were a magical time for hair; you're just envious because there was so much.

The '80s were the BEST time for hair; Blixa, Genevieve McGuckin, Rowland S. Howard, Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch, Foetus, Beate Bartel, Gudrun Gut, Daniel Ash - I could go on.

Ahead of Elvis Costello? Are you mad?

Ahead of neither of the two. She can't sing or play!

@@adm8995 no. you're a tool.

Strange comparisons.

@@adm8995 He got uninteresting fast . Of course they were exploring different kinds of expression . Costello is more cheerful .

Buelligan88 she still is Merle was a judge on first few seasons of rupauls drag race

See my response to Bart Tare above.

she has dark smokey looks that almost belong to a past more classical era

No, she was cool. Beautiful lady, though.

unknowntuber unknowntuber you know it

Yep

Yes. That video turned me off to Rogan for a long time.

@@deathmetaldouglas69 gosh, what? i thought his stand up was okay, but when his podcast came out, it turned me off immediately.so I'm not really surprised though..

He put her in her place. Screw her.

Merle Ginsberg? see description

@@frankenspleanyes I researched right after I posted that comment.

SO FUNNY

She looked beautiful here

salada? 🍲🍄🍅

@Kitty Foreman Nardwuar

@Kitty Foreman His name is Nardwuar, and is a very 'unique' and talented interviewer. Who once interviewed this lady(Among many artists like Kurt Cobain, Snoop dog, DaBaby ect. ). And she might be one of the most disrespectful and bratty geusts to ever be on his mega successful string of interviews. Search Nardwuar on RU-vid.

@Kitty Foreman and your a manlet. go cry now manlet

@Kitty Foreman Sure manlet, i geuss thats just your normal interactions with other people LOL. Back to ur grandmas basement

what the fuck are gamers L O L and people into mumble rap even on these videos WHAT THE FUCK

I mean maybe if you have been in a Turkish prison camp for the last 30 years she might look about as appealing as a cold bowl of boiled lentils

Yes.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

are you for fucking real

Then perhaps you should hire a translator.

Really? If that's true, Henry must have liked her taste in music.

Pq coitada mow babyzinha gata

Joe Rogan is the king of the hyper-testosteroneated douchebags. What has he ever contributed to society?

@@QuadMochaMatti More than Lydia Lunch.
