What was the other time? That is an interesting phenomena. Maybe it's just the denseness of the text, since I often launch into the long diatrabs of a guy who's been around the block too many times as well.
That said, while I find your tastes and how they were founded completely interesting, our stories are actually rather different. I got into post-punk in my late teens straight from a pathetic art-rock / AOR prog background when Sonic Youth woke me the fuck up that there was a whole world that the FM radio of the day hadn't been telling me shit about. From there I reverse engineered from their influences that punk rock was cool and proto-punk even cooler, but I was already far too old for the Exploited. I'd probably enjoy them more today than I would have back then.
