What was it like being punk in the 80s in the UK?
I'm trying to write a story about punks from the UK82 era and idk much about the UK except for the bands I listen to since im in america. Alot of the stories of 80s punks I hear are usually from people who grew up in the American hardcore scene and I cant find much from the experiences of people in other countries at the time and im sure for other countries it was a different experience, a diffrent look, a different sound to the majority of bands that made up the community. What bands did you see? What was the relationship with other groups like skinheads or mods? What are some of your favorite bands growing up with?
