When I was 13, my dad kept on telling me “you gotta listen to New York Dolls, they were the first real punk band. They were guys who dressed like girls and pissed the normies off”. For the proceeding weekend visits, we would got to Epic Seconds and dig through the vinyl for a Dolls record. Finally, we found Too Much Too Soon. I felt I won a massive award. I would listen to it all the time and stare at the covers.
New York Dolls became a very important band for me. They sent me down paths to find other incredible bands but most importantly they prompted little me to embrace my gender identity and express it how I see fit. It was David who impacted me the most, with his masculine jawline and high heels and dresses. I honestly am not sure who I would be without this influence and I will always hold New York Dolls dear because of that.
I hope you find your kiss.

Thinking about punk herstory again...
#vivenne westwood#johnny rotten#the damned#new york dolls#malcolm mclaren#adam ant#this is a niche meme for my fellow punk historians#I've just been obsessed with punk history recently because ive been reading a book about goth history#and ive seen a few original punks#and just been consuming a lot of old punk and goth#Malcolm McLaren fascinates me because hes such a prick i cant believe hes fucked over so many bands#hes like grunkle stan if he was a punk manager#for context#johnny rotten hates him because he mismanaged them and wouldnt pay them and started piL in retaliation#adam ant asked him to make him a really big pop star and after a few months kicked adam out of his own band 😭#got the new York dolls to preform in a comminist get up which casused so much controversy they disbanded#and got everyone to turn against the damned and poser shamed them because he was pissed that they made a record before sex pistols#im sure u all know about how he and vivenne Westwood ran their punk clothing line Sex and managed and dressed all their bands#then they went rockabilly (every punk has a rockabilly era)#then it was sex#and after punk they liked pirates and rebranded to Worlds end and basically made new romantic fashion
