In High School I was a...

Postby glokstadt » Sun Oct 19, 2008 1:59 pm

So going through High School, I came in as a punker from Junior High as that summer of 1978 I went to many a punk parties, in 1981 I changed my tune to a Mod, and when they died out that summer of '83 I switched with everyone else to New Romantic... But went back to Mod in 1984 and progressed to Ska music as a Skinhead and then Scooter Boy.

Still what i enjoy musically; however, was shaped by my time as a NewRo, which exposed me to many different bands along with the constant KROQ listening, I picked up those albums so I wouldn't be stuck in a Northern Soul/Power Pop dimension for the rest of my life... I was not "in" with the popular or "smart" kids (even though I took the AP classes with them) during High School, just our own little scene.

So what were you? Have fun with this topic, it is not ment to 'relive' any bad times... [:)]

I was more on the Inside Looking Out.

It may take several beers and a few more hours of therapy before I can fully explain...

Started out as a New Wave freshman in '82, by my sophomore year I was full-on punk, but never lost my love of the New Wave.

Brainiac who pissed off teachers by hanging with stoners (although I didn't partake until after I got out of school and went to a Zappa concert).

Yeah okay I was a jock, but I was a New waver too! So I was more of a outcast in the jock world. but no one never mess with me because I would take care of business on the playing field ;)!

I was a punker with crazy hair and clothes. I got my ass kicked many times for being different but I ALWAYS had hot girlfriends.

I'm with Cadman, I guess I was considered a jock too,played ice hockey and Soccer. In 78-79 Boston Surburbia ,I don't recall anyone being punked out in school. I guess most people didn't know what I was listening to until they climbed into my 75 Lemans.

Nerd trapped in the body of a jock. Isn't that always just the way?

New romantic was pretty much dead and buried by the time I entered high school ('86)... so I closet-listened to it.
