"In God Punk Revelations, punk rock, drugs, new consciousness, and enlightenment between subways cars and dark empty Long Island roads awaits, as violence, trauma, and addiction afflict the lost children of New York. This book is a recollection of a lifestyle. It is a tour-de-force rock and roll exploration of anarchy, God, ecstasy, and loss, one part Jungian and another Velvet Underground.

​

It catalogs the hijrah of New Yorkers who came from the inner cities and grew up on Long Island, to only run back to the chaos and violent good fun of the gritty city. A time-honored right of passage that defined Baby Boomers and Gen X's New York, with the likes of Lenny Bruce and Lou Reed, then again in the 90s with the diverse Millennial kids author Nadeem Gibran Salaam grew up with. They thought nothing would change until September 11th, 2001. Then, kids from the ghetto suburb of Elmont, and many like it, were signing up for the military, and New York City would go through a massive transformation. The hopelessness and angst felt in NYC and blossoming creativity in the early aughts defined millennials and Gen X, who were integrating their souls through whatever they could get a fix of, be it punk rock, anti-corporatism, or even psychedelics. But what cannot be snorted or smoked enough for fugazi enlightenment takes us through the hero's journey as the dystopian aughts pave the way for the entrenching Silicon Valley influencer generation of conformity.

The God Punk Revelations feature New York City moments of punk rock youth looming in the shadow of the Iraq War, which also marked the end of the CBGB era. This collection of essays from author Nadeem Gibran Salaam decant the reader into the very quicksilver times that are expressed in his realizations on consciousness, transcendentalism, and technology."
