Punk Rock, Dawn Of A New Era? Demonstrating the Pogo. Lori Good leaps oft the floor. 4 Cee-Cee Dunivan has a hair-raising exper- ience. A new look was evident on the Ar- lington campus this year. Did you rec- ognize the Punk Rockers? Some were more noticeable than others as they bounced around in all kinds of get ups, wearing punk glasses, safety pins, and leopard skin jumpsuits. I ' ve never been embarrassed to dress punk at school or anywhere, stated Debbie Garret. What brought on the tremendous popularity of this new look and sound? When students were asked how they got into punk, answers varied from I couldn ' t find any other kind of music I liked to I just started hearing it on the radio to It ' s too hip. Robbie Bash liked it because, It ' s gross man. Punkers showed off their game with a New Wave Dance early in the year. Favorite Punk dances included the Mashed Potatoes, the Twitch, the Worm, and the popular Pogo. Most of the dances included bouncing, bang- ing, multi-spastic gyrations, and squirming on the floor. Among the students ' favorite re- cording groups were Oingo Boingo, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, XTC, and, of course, Devo. Many Punkers in the school went to at least one of the Devo concerts at Raincross Square last August. Kim Kircher went to one of the Devo concerts and estimated that there were forty to fifty students from AHS there. Is punk just another fad or has it be- come a new lifestyle to some? Cee- Cee Dunivan says, It ' s just a kind of music like Disco or Rock, but it ' s much better. Punk is real normal, said Tim Truddel, one of the few punkers at AHS with a crop hairstyle. Overall, punk provided diversion and fun for students who were tired of the same old thing. It ' s something new and different, professed Adam Lowe. Student Life 7
