Subcultures 101, Tuesday, Period 3
It was a movie day. You could tell by the way beanbags and cushions were arranged facing a screen, and by the scent of popcorn wafting off a snack table.
"Hey," Didi said once the students were assembled. "One of the things I've been trying to get across is the way subcultures can make outsiders feel like they have a place to belong, and maybe no subculture did that more than punk. Punk is huge -- so huge that I could talk about it for the whole class period and barely look at the most basic history. So instead of boring you guys with all that, I'm showing a movie about three teen girls in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1982. They're all unhappy for one reason or another. And yet somehow, when they start a punk band, it all makes sense. This is the essence of punk -- loads of teenagers in garages across the world making a lot of noise. Maybe it's the essence of this whole subculture concept. Anyhow, this is We Are the Best!"
And with that she hit play.
