Before I went to Prague, I was in Berlin for a few days to meet up with friends who then traveled with me to Prague by train. We had time to walk around Berlin and see some sights. Berlin in 1991 was then infested with what were then called “punks,” who would today be called Antifa. They had the spiked out, multi-colored Mohawks, tattoos, bike leathers, the whole Sid Vicious look, and they made their living panhandling and charging Japanese tourists for the privilege of taking a photo with them, and probably selling drugs and stealing. Wherever I saw punks in Berlin, I saw graffiti, and it was most notorious at the Berlin Wall, which for years had served as a graffiti canvas for them. By June 1991, we had to walk a long way to find a section of wall still standing, and I was able to get a piece covered in turquoise spray paint to bring home.
So I don’t think it’s necessarily the Muzzi invasion (although it could certainly be part of it), but I think it was more from sharing borders with the Austrian and German countries full of drugged-up, nihilistic, Marxist scumbags and disrespectful a-holes.
