Punk In LOve

The punk movement was a “statement of independence” among young people who were trying to assert personal freedoms over what they felt was an oppressive societal attitude. By dressing and grooming themselves in such a manner as to shock and often intimidate those persons they felt were “mainstream” (and thus part of the problem) they made themselves visible and gained lasting notoriety. While there were many different variations on the punk theme, spiked hair was a commonly seen style because it was unmistakably intentional. It also generally photographed well.
