I was really into punk subculture in my high school years.
The whole elitist attitudes in the scene really turned me off over time though.
I always viewed punk subculture as a home for the outcasts of society.
But punk shows are some of the snottiest and least diverse shows you’ll ever attend.
Jello Biafra said it best, in a way punk has to die because something new will come and replace it.
I can’t handle Jerry Springer. Way too trashy. I can handle Maury
Used to watch it some when I was 12.
Turtles for life 
The punks I hung out with vandalized alot of stuff. Got arrested for it eventually. We drank beer together in my friends uncles barn.
Iggy, rancid, Lars. Anti flag, mouthwash.
I spent a year with a punk tribe in New York. Mohawks, liberty spikes. Free trade fares. Maybe a cult. Lots of drugs.
Was a wild time in my life.
Still listen to some of it.
A punk tribe would be cool. I only knew a few of them who hungout with each other. One I was friends with from age 12 to 18 moved to the outskirts of Boston. He was into punk rock and screenprinting. Went to and dropped out of art school. I haven’t seen him or talked to him since we were 18 though. Kinda sad we lost touch as we were such good friends. He didn’t like my girlfriend I had then and we stopped hanging out because I was so absorbed in the relationship at the time.
I was the token sober one in my punk group. I had blue liberty spikes, wore colorful tights under ripped jeans, and lots of neon. My style was Acid Punk, but I was very much not into the drug scene to the point I had no idea at the time why it was called acid punk, because all my friends knew better than to offer drugs to me so I assumed they just didnct do them either.
My punks were really only drinkers though I did LSD with one of them once. He had a positive experience. Hanging out with them was a nice break from the pothead crowd. Spend a weekend with the punks was nice back then just to get away from weed.
