In the years since, hardcore punk has become more mainstream but believe me, in 1980 we were considered freaks.

Henry Rollins is still relevant. He is curating vinyl reissues for Sounds of Vinyl and recently published a book of his photography. I was listening to punk in the 70's. Heard the Pistols in 1976. I did not wear the 'uniform', but those at the shows did not care.

I'm not even old yet, i'm 26, but I am a manager at a country club and a lot of my employees are in the 16-23 age range, and I sometimes feel out of touch. I'm only 4 years out of college and sometimes these high school and college kids talk about stuff and i feel really dumb not knowing what they're talking about.

It doesn't surprise me when I'm unfamiliar with the music my students are listening to, though I do like a fair amount of recent music for a middle-aged guy, but I am still surprised on occasion at how few of the students are familiar with certain celebrities from the last few decades. We asked like half a dozen students in the building the other day, and none of them had any idea who Alanis Morisette was. These are university students. I realize she wasn't on the same tier of fame with Madonna and Marilyn Monroe, but I think if I'd asked the same thing 10 years ago all of them would have known who she was.

You've actually met current college students who know who Marilyn Monroe is?

I messaged a friend this week that I couldn't believe Frau Blucher - AKA (Cloris Leachman) - had turned 93. He replied kids today have no idea who Frau Blucher is. Sad, but true. (For those here who don't know, google, or better yet, watch "Young Frankenstein.)
