It's easy to get a little cynical about the very concept of CBGB Fest. When one of the side stages - the Young Punks Stage - is presented by Ed Hardy, it's even easier. Is corporate integration and brand licensing really "punk?" Surely someone else can write that dissertation. Besides, the idea of counter culture in 2025, where monoculture is so fragmented it barely even exists, is rarely decoupled from capitalism.

On the red carpet of the VMAs, Yungblud told Nylon magazine, "I've actually got Iggy Pop's leather pants on. Richard [Stark] from [luxury brand] Chrome Hearts said if you can fit in them you can wear them." Meanwhile, the singer's cross necklace was gifted him by Ozzy himself at the "Back to the Beginning" concert in July, just two weeks before the Prince of Darkness passed away.

The version that plays over the Superman end credits is from Teddybears' 2006 album Soft Machine, featuring Iggy Pop's vocals.
