A British band that captured the hearts and mind of a whole NME reading generation during the 00s.
Led by two men so close they were possibly bottom sexual, Peter Doherty and Carlos Barrat,The Libs recorded two albums before sailing off down Ol Albion but leave a rich legend which will grow when Pete Doherty dies of smack overdose,which seems to be inevatble.
Libertines fans are notoriously obbsesive and will punch you if you so much sneer at their beloved band.
Pete went onto front the pathetic Babyshambles,Carl and ex-Libs drummer Gary formed the sexy Dirty Preety Things and John (ex-guitarist) with Yeti.
Unsurprsingly,none of them are as good as The Libertines.
Some people are still hoping for a reunion. :)
The Libertines were awesome. As was watching Pete And Carl make out,as they sometimes did during shows.Mmmmm...

Derived from the Middle English 'libertyn' meaning 'freedman,' which came from the Latin root 'liber,' which means 'liberty.' Libertine was a derogatory term which referred to someone who was a free-thinker or non-believer. Until the 19th Century, atheists or agnostics were considered beyond the pale of reasonable or civilized people. The term was extended to describe people who lacked moral self-restraint. Being a libertine was associated with living as an animal or an uncivilized person. John Stuart Mill's dictum, "Better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied" applies as a condemnation of the libertine.
Many contemporary libertarians miss crucial moral distinctions and have fallen into perverting the Liberty Principle into a "Libertine Principle." Contemporary liberals (social democrats and socialists, not classical liberals) have fallen into the same moral nihilism falsely believing that they are defending liberty when they place atheism, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, and illicit drug use on par with traditional morality and religious belief.
Fool: I am a libertarian. I smoke dope, watch pornography, and have sex with anything not nailed down. I love liberty as did the Founding Fathers.
Person with common sense: You are not a libertarian or a liberal, you are a libertine.

But currently her steam is for one person....and that is me...and you know you are jealous of me....i love her with all of my heart and we both know she deserves the title of libertine.
