can only speak for those who were around during my teens in the 80s but back then most punks were simply losers who couldn't fit in with any other group. they started their own and pretended that they didn't want to be in any other social group anyway because being a punk was who they always were even though we all knew them from kindergarten to high school. it was obvious back then it was just a cope for losers who couldn't even make friends with the nerds and geeks.
