There’s a new version of Black Flag in town, and it’s mostly populated by people who were not born when the original version of Black Flag broke up. Greg Ginn, guitarist and trademark holder for the legendary ’80s hardcore institution, has spent the past few decades behaving as if he wants to make people embarrassed for getting the bar logo tattooed on their bodies. Ginn launched a rebooted version of Black Flag in 2013, and they went through a tumultuous run, sued a competing Black Flag revival, fired their singer mid-show, and released an album that everyone hated. Also, Ginn’s ex-wife accused him of child abuse. Now, Ginn has returned with another new version of Black Flag, and this one is entirely full of Gen Z musicians. Last night, they played their first show.
