(1) Yamma Yamma Yamma Boring Boredom : Watching the X-Ray-Spex documentary the other night was reminded just how many punk songs were about Boredom : Much of the 1970s felt like lockdown for young people, all the time, perhaps

(2) The Buzzcocks, of course, with Boredom "Of course my future aint what it was". All the tv being turned boring because of Prince Philipp's death recreates this feeling. (live here )

(3)The Americans got in on the act too - in this Stooges sounding number by Destroy All Monsters (with Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton involved)

(4) And another ex-Stooges song about Boredom -

(5)And a UK Punk/Stooges crossover, the Sex Pistols doing "No Fun", which doesn't say the "Boredom" word, but is pretty much about it

(6)Even angry protest took the form of performative Boredom "I'm so bored of the USA"

(7) And of course "London's Burning (with Boredom)"

(8)And , straightforwardly, the Adverts : Bored Teenagers
