I've associated myself with punk culture since I was 14. I'm 21 now, and as a college student, I find myself growing out of my angst and search of identity. I was interested, then, to see an objective point of view on why someone like me would have been drawn to such a subculture.

I searched my school library's limited database for the word "punk" and this book came up. I checked it out, and thoroughly enjoyed the forward. It offers an earnest plea for a fair observation of my generation.

350 pages later, I feel none-too-enlightened. I read the whole thing, cursing as I went. No one understands youth but the youth themselves. Don't waste your time with this book.
