New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has come in for a bit of battering for its 'Punk: From Chaos to Couture' exhibition. 'It was such a good idea at the time', we can only assume the refined Upper East Side board members and philanthropists with seventh generation Dutch surnames and Roman numerals after them saying, surveying the terribly clean CBGB toilet installation that forms part of the exhibition.

Amid complaints from reviewers that the exhibition has sanitised the movement, misunderstood and misappropriated everything it stood for, we can reveal news of an *actual* iconoclastic commotion on the ground.

A group of self-proclaimed punks have begun protesting outside the museum, by those famous steps where Serena and Blair used to have lunch in Gossip Girl.

The thing is, they've made plans to return and protest once a week while the exhibition is open – which doesn't sound very punk to us. Punks don't have diaries or wall-planners. Punks do things off the cuff! Yeah! *kicks wastepaper bin over*

One more thing: we're not convinced these punks got the fashion memo either. They look like cyber-punks to us. And ain't never gonna be a fashion exhibition on that weirdy subculture.
