Synopsis

Are you punk? Is she? Am I? What is punk? Is it a style of music? Is it a fashion sense? Is it a mindset? Growing up in the American South (aka The Bible Belt) during the mid to late 90’s, the authors in this book all developed their own understanding of what punk was to them. For some it was a way to bond with like-minded people, for others it was a way to rebel against everyone else, and to many more it was an all-encompassing culture of art and mayhem, hair dye and spikes, leather and ripped denim, skateboarding and loud music. Now, 20 years or more later, these people have grown up. Their lives are vastly different than when they were kids bashing heads at shows and getting trashed. But are they truly changed? Read their words, their own stories and poems, and discover for yourself.
