Summary:

"I can safely recommend this to young punks looking for some history from the old timers who probably will want it just for all the cool pictures. A really impressive volume that many people will find useful and enjoyable". -- Factsheet 5

As the subculture of punk approaches its twentieth anniversary, a fairly clear set of ideas (both revolutionary and reactionary) have emerged. This is the first book to give an inside look at the thriving culture as an important present day movement, and as a way of life. Covering topics such as the media's (mis)representation of punk, skinheads, fanzines, anarchism, homosexuality, and environmentalism. Includes a new selection of over fifty photos taken by the author over the last decade.

"Overall, this is a very in-depth study of punk values, and how punk looks out towards the straight world. I feel it is excellent for understanding punk, especially the highest ideals that it has aspired to obtain". -- Maximum Rockn'Roll
