Dog collars heavily laden with garish studs, chains, black leath- er garments and maroon- dyed mohawks. ln Canada where I come from mohawks and dyed hair are just a part of our everyday fashion, said senior Janet Huang. Punk in the earlier days was shortlived. ln its sec- ond coming rock be- came its stepping stone to an unmatched style of clothing, hair-dos, politi- cal beliefs and music. New wave was consid- ered to be a more modi- fied version of punk. It also came with a unique fashion. Buttons portray- ing a favorite band or slo- gan, wild colored tennis shoes, far-out sunglasses and even safety pins be- came a part of new wave apparel. When the word punk was used in California, noses were turned up. It was very different from punk in Oklahoma. ln Cali- fornia it was more than just a fashion, it was a po- litical rebellion. l wear punk clothes to be different. I don't want to be just another face in the crowd and I don't think I am, said Shawna Gooden, sophomore. ln other places punk may be a revolt, but with most people in Oklahoma punk was merely a fun fashion and a way to stand out in a crowd. -Copy by Mchelle Allen Punking ln .ntf .
