 Stafford also explained that major cultural movements were the result of a convergence of local, national, and international factors.He gave the example of the music scene in the 1970s as drawing both positive and negative energy alike from the local enthusiasm for the right to march movement, the national reaction to the dismissal of the Whitlam government, and the international anarchy inspired by the Sex Pistols in the UK.The title Pig City originated from the song Pig City recorded by Brisbane band The Parameters in late 1983.
