Under the heading "Career: Dead Kennedys", the penultimate paragraph begins "Biafra has been a prominent figure of the Californian punk scene and was one of the third generation members of the San Francisco punk community." (emphasis added) It's nonsensical to consider the Dead Kennedys part of a "third generation" of the San Francisco punk community", considering there was no "punk community" in San Francisco before the mid-1970s (Cf. Punk rock in California). The Dead Kennedys formed in 1977. An argument might be able to be made that the Dead Kennedys weren't at the beginning of the "first wave" of punk in Northern California, but there simply were no "first-" and "second-generations" of a punk community before 1977.

Given that Jello (what in the UK would be called jelly) is an effete dessert food, typically eaten at children's parties; and Biafra, which owing to its being blockaded by Nigeria became in the 1970s almost a by-word for starvation: might not Jello Biafra be in effect an oxymoron? Uniting two mutually opposite values (abundance and famine) into a single, absurd but at the same time poetic protest.

I'm pretty sure the quote "what if he does win" is simply "what if he wins??" On the sign . It is blearily shown in some photos I've seen and does not seem like it has "does" in it Surfingtheinterweb (talk) 09:43, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
