Simon (17) from London.

I used to listen to the Sex Pistols but I never dressed up in punk gear until two years ago. My friends were turning punk and they introduced me to the music, so I decided to go along with them. Now I listen to Theatre of Hate, Exploited, Anti Pasti, Damned, Killing Joke, Siouxsie and Vice Squad. I buy clothes, when I can afford them, from the Great Gear Market and the Last Resort. I go to the 100 Club and the Lyceum for gigs.
Hardly ever buy records. Occasionally I get people coming up and asking Where were you in '76, but I was only 12. I'll probably still be a punk this time next year. They were talking about anarchy in '76 but nobody did anything. The kids NOW are doing it. They're all on the dole with nothing to do-they riot. Punk is a way of life. If you're a teenager or in your early 20s it's an attractive way of life. I
think though, that by the time you reach your mid to late 20s there should be a bit more to life than the dictates of fashion.
