When Richard proclaimed us to be members of the
Blank Generation this was a clarion call to the transcendent aspects of the possible. It showed that
we all must assume the responsibility of actualizing ourselves by filling in that blank, by becomming what we are.

Unfortunately, Hell's brilliance was misconstrued by
people who were ruled by fear. In these people's hands
Blank Generation was seen as an act of negation for the dismal circumstances that confronted them,as a call for Nihilism. Thus Blank Generation became to be seen as the bastard stepfather of the Sex Pistol's Pretty Vacant and all the dogmatic cant that was to follow in its wake

It is time we take back our culture and fill in the Blank for ourselves, don't take the bait proffered
by users like Malcolm McClaren

Remeber the best thing Malcolm McClaren ever did was Lauren Hutton
