Punk’s not dead

Despite featuring war, conquest, natural disasters, famine, climate collapse and all manner of harrowing apocalypses, The Fermi Paradox also has a sense of humour. This is most evident when dealing with the human species. Random events often reference our own history, such as the moment when we’re told a new kind of music called ‘punk’ has emerged. We’re given several options to decide how this provocative new artform will affect our species. Does it lead to a sudden rise to youthful rebellion, but eventually fade away into irrelevance? Or does it impact Earth so fundamentally that it becomes a new way of life for our species, and The Sex Pistols blast from every radio on the planet?
