More DescriptionThis book of black-and-white portraits and excerpts of recorded interviews, takes us into the lives of the punks and skinheads of the East Village of New York City in the 1980s. They created an extraordinary moment--the hardcore scene--of rebellion, community, culture, and music. Unlike other books about the hardcore subculture, which focus mostly on the fashion, the club scenes and the music, this book gives us a more intimate glimpse. In these pages we see their faces and hear their voices and stories--moving, tragic, and inspirational. This book captures close-up, with compassion and a sense of complexity, the individuality of this youth counterculture of rebels and nonconformists that was to have a lasting influence on our society.
