kinda like when i was 14 and i wanted to be a headbanger, so i had my mommy take me to the mall to get metallica shirts

BrooklynPerson30000 Lol! I did they exact same thing, only with Iron Maiden.

+Holden Ryan haha cool!! at least you could claim to be a little more hardcore- maiden was a bit obscure- everyone knew the name but most people didn't know any of their music. my brother it's all so pathetic haha- i wonder how many of my "hardcore" friends secretly lived in really nice clean houses in rich neighborhoods

BrooklynPerson30000 I look back now and realize what a complete doofus I was lol. Actually..i still am..

haha- that's very funny but nope.. you admit it and have a sense of humor about it- THAT erases all doofus particles

It's a fit ending tbh

i love it.

Its actually an alternate ending where Terry becomes a successful rock star and his family has no choice but to respect his choices in life and they become closer because of it. Pretty wholesome ending if you ask me

​@@djtoxxikk that's a way to think about it

I KNEW SHE LOOKED FAMILIAR

Flight of The Valkyries is a punk standard..

A real punk doesn't say what you just said ...

@@raulgarcia8063 cringe

weirdo

Yep. No conflict at all. You can be punk and a painter, or a poet, or anything else you want... except maybe a billionaire, or a CEO, or a corporate shill, or anything else that sucks.

And when they get home the youngest is immediately told to get into her pajamas.

Yeah if they're going to cook dinner at home they might as well go out to eat, it probably takes about the same amount of time.

I know you wrote this 8 years ago but if it started at 10am and went til 7pm or something, that would still make sense

Must be California. The sun goes down at 8:30 during summer. Or an endless day in Alaska.

Imagine Black Flag’s “My War” on violin 😂

Except Repo Man haha! The Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Fear, Black Flag...

@@LakeErieOH1 Have you heard the Name Droppers?

@@bernielomax4702 no, but i'll look for them here in youtube

Except Star Trek IV. Course that was a radio. But still.

Because they made it sound the way they wished it sounded instead of the reality. They were scared of the reality, and especially scared that if they showed the real thing, kids would actually like it.

We brought you AIDS and Iran-contra. We weren't that innocent. And this video wasn't what we were contending with either.

Club kid's.

Ditto and did you notice that "punk" look very much resembles today's "normal" (more like just common) .... so sad. Where is my time machine??!!

Ahh the insidiousness of the 80’s… When kids dressing punk was used fuel the paranoia of aging baby boomers while invisibilizing the underlying causes of things like adolescent drug use, crime, and poverty so that neoconservative politicians could cut social spending.

I don't. We disabled people had no rights back then. We still have few, but at least we have some.

Pete and Pete and dark winged duck too me right back to being 6 or 7. T.v. in the 90s was so much better then it is today for both kids and adults

this aired?????

The "throw-yo!"

They're not the original commercials. Those are from yeeeeaaaars after the movie first aired.

At least for back then. Nowadays it’s almost to walk into to a public restroom and see a guy putting on makeup😂

chill the hell out zachary

@@EDGar-wi6np great day tho for us 😌

Nothong wrong at all with a guy wearing makeup.

@A S Yes, and that is why they rejected him. All he had going for him was the hair. LOL

Do you like A Flock of Seagulls? No, but I can tell you do.

I had wonderful flock o seagulls hair in senior high. No shame.

The only people who considered A Flock of Seagulls to be punk, were the same ones who were terrified of real punk, and did everything they could to run and hide from it.

Literally spit OJ reading that!!! 🤣

Yes, turns out it was 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 who were afflicted with punk rock syndrome; the kids are sweet as pie. Except for Terry's creepy brother. Tell you what--if I had two sons, he's the one I'd be worried about.

...and god bless us everyone!

Yeah, the kids are alright... or at least they used to be :'')))

Punks never take drugs or hit each other.

No one ever into punk in the 80s would call it…..punk rock 😂🤣🙄

@@guidadiehl9176fer sure never ever ever LMFAO

That Quincy episode was amazing. I still say “escape goats” to this day

I love Class of 1984, iconic movie, cool soundtrack.

They've only got 50 minutes! To tell a story to an audience who, let's face it, is not that bright.

😂😂🤣

Larry Craig may tap on the door for some airport loving

Was it mispronounced or just a really genius line though?

@@melissam6037 You might be right.

Gallifrey!

+Chachi Shapiro there a good family, they go to bed at a decent hr, get up early and jog after a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs.

Maybe they're near the Arctic Circle where it's 24 hrs of sunlight for a couple weeks in Summer :)

😂😇

Thank you! i had to check if other people were bothered by that too.

I thought she called him Ziggy-Ziggy Sputnik.

Isn't it horrible that you have to ask people not to call you names in the comments. I know where you're coming from though. ❤

I see comments like this as gatekeeping, If he has the politcal mindset and he listens to the music then hes punk.

@@sggy_ramen6882 Agreed. It's not just about fashion and styling.

yes very true not punk at all just a waver

He’s not drunk half the time, so not punk

yeah the sun is shining brightly

now the woke idiots get offended if a boy identifies himself as "a male" on TV, I think we were a "tad" better off in 87 when free speech existed and racial tensions werent at an all time high thanks the Left Wing critical race theory dopes.

Late eighties was the most uptight, stick up the ass time to be a teenager. Think...Parents taking life advice from Nancy Reagan.

Jesus! In 1987 they (meaning white, middle-class Americans) still had no idea what "punk" was. They still thought it was just some "threatening" dude in leather with earrings and a mohawk, who was going to pull out a switchblade. (You just knew they switchblades! They ALL had switchblades! Didn't you see The Terminator?)

Maybe the hysterical reaction is due to the fact that he showed up for a job interview dressed like that?

@@bifftannen2062 😂 oh conservatives…. You’ll never be punk

Hahahahahaha!

I Know RIGHT .........

😂😂😂

Lmaooooooo

Yep! That's where I always made my transformations; one bathroom at home, two siblings- always room in a public restroom!

Bro can I come?!? Sounds amazing

dam im about to hit up uber eats and get this pizza while this L gets rolled

Cool white kids like us🤣👊

Meat lovers when smoking weed is amazing pizza

Wow! How admirable that you can work, maintain grades and watch tv all while getting "fucking baked"!

I spent over 15 years trying to find a song I heard on the radio in 1988, so I know the feeling.

Then you would LOVE the episode called "Next Stop Nowhere" from the 70's show Quincy M.E.! Check it out when you can!

Thanks for that. I really do appreciate these You Tube uploads.

Right?! I actually loved seeing all those commercials again. 😂

My students' parents were always polite.

Also a surprisingly positive message instead of a hysteric moral panic.

haha nice

the "punk mentality IS and will always be..."fuck -you"....

+Alicia Kistner-King i agree that punks can absolutely have good attitudes, and many of them do. The point we're making is that this character is NOT punk, haha. Putting on a punk exterior, while having none of the life experience that leads a person to wear (and do) certain counter-culture things, is just wearing a costume. I was Superman one Halloween- the character in this special is as punk as i am superhero. Come to think of it, i am allergic to some types of Kryptonite- perhaps i should get that checked.

pacman

These "punks" would get their ass kicked.....

I loved watching "Fame". It made me want to go to a school "of the arts". I never did. 😢

it wasnt passe to the kind of lame parents that were watching this kind of thing or being shocked by the punk kids on Donahue or something LOL.

@@newwavepop I remember those kids. They were worked up at the beginning, but by the end of the show, they were bored.

Plus “Doc” from the Love Boat is playing the Dad! 😂

johnnybob goldstien The day my kid joined Duran Duran

The drummer from the Romantics Kicks ASS !!! ! "What I Like About You."

wow, I stand corrected. Just saw a Pete & Pete commercial. So 90's then? This has 80's written all over it.

And the jingling! Don't forget that

You watch way too much TV 😁

The mother was also on Beverly Hills 90210 as Steve’s mother

Jay underwood was also in uncle buck with John candy

Christine Belford was also Little Blake's nanny on Dynasty.

YES Mr. Shorofsky!! 😁 We used to watch Fame all the time.

+Casper Howell Not enough rage!

+Casper Howell you obviously weren't around in the '80s. That guy's look has nothing to do with glam metal; it's influenced by New Wave/New Romantic/post-punk. Back then, that imagery was to punk what glam was to metal.

+Casper Howell the day my kid became billy idol lol

Da Lime Still not as bad as it looks.

+Casper Howell +Da Lime more like Sheena Easton thank Billy Idol

It is an afterschool special

@@punkrockvalexactly!

It was not "only a movie." It was a scare campaign. Capitalizing on hysteria and ignorance.

@@Guitcad1 I doubt this scared anyone. Wally Cleaver joins a band; Ward and June decide to be cool with it. It's his Republican brother who scares me, because I know what's coming from them types.

oh yeah. this is in no way punk.......new wave? ok

Punk Rock 🧷 Is A attitude and colored hair spray doesn't make U Punk Rock 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 9:57

And Helen on the Jeffersons

she totally said it wrong

I like Doc much better when he was "gettin' busy" with random women on a cruise ship.

First...wear your sneakers like Robert Smith!

Also the mom from Christine.

She really went for the uptight mom demographic.

I did not understand a single wird you just said

And the guy who wrote the music for *How the Grinch Stole Christmas!*

Is your profile pic Santa's Brother?

They couldn't put real punk on Nickelodeon the kids would freak and parents would sue them.

+A. Nonny Mouse 😂

only posers classify things like u just did

Agreed. This is from the 1 % point of view

This movie is certainly very sanitized, but I think the moral is ultimately quite good.

100 percent agreed

​@@heinoustentacles5719 Yeah, Terry was the most reasonable person in essentially every interaction. And he was always empathetic and concerned for others. The movie was honestly a good bait and switch. It seemed like a moral panic story about the horrors of a punk kid but ultimately had a message of "don't worry if your kid dresses a little different. And listen if they try to talk to you."

Punk is a Attitude. Not a fashion 0:49

Dirty-Rag Kid and then they got close, and the smell drove them away. Did you bother them for change too?

Crusties have phones?

Rafael Rosas and Tipper Gore with some other Democrat wives started the PMRC.

this isnt how republicans are at all you are showing your brainwashing

Do you suppose it's Ronald Reagan's fault?

Rafael Rosas i’d say the left and the right wing are both at fault. It’s only mind boggling to see how even to this day, they still don’t realize how much destruction they’re both causing to society. Life sucks, yo.

@@brianqrcode1673 some are, some aren't. A lot of conservatives nowadays would cringe at old school conservatives from the Reagan era

@@emanuelbostan5737 mosh pit? That's a 90s thing. In the 80s we slammed

"Because it's who I am!" Same as nowadays with what I see this kid who is supposed to be transgender on Roseanne-The Conners, insisting on wearing makeup to school. Thirty years ago, it was 'rebellion'. Nowadays, it's 'part of me' tho the rebellion was also part of who we are. Boy, that rebellion fizzled out and quick!

NOOOO!!! You're only allowed to be ONE THING!!! And it has to DEFINE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! How else will you ever fit in a box otherwise? 😮

This!!

@@2up3rm4n1 Being transgender isn’t about “rebelling” it literally is who you are, and that’s not a bad thing.

@@PixieMeat_444 and those self-loathers who think they are something else and undergo any knife or however many hormones they take will simply age on and realize they are still the same person as before, no matter how much they insist they are "happier now than I was before." Ain't nothing going to change. Self respect starts within. If it ain't there before, it never will be.

Why should their no-no's be covered?

Because not everyone wants to see people's genitals. Like a straight person wouldn't wanna see someone of their own gender naked, or a gay person doesn't wanna see the opposite persons or an asexual (like me) doesn't wanna see anyone's. It makes people uncomfortable. There's a time and people for your genitals, not in public or people who don't want them. It's not ok to show someone your genitals if they don't want to see

Well, not everyone wants to see someones body modifications - it makes people uncomfortable. There's a time and people for your body modifications, not in public or people who don't want them. It's no ok to show someone your body modifications if they don't want to see. I'm hoping you're seeing the double standard I just walked you into.

Well if someone has a tattoo, that's an art thing really. If someone doesn't like the art you did that's they're problem. I don't see why that would make someone uncomfortable unless it was offensive to them. It's kinda natural for people to not want to see genitals all day unless you like that. I mean, for a job interview, it's time to wear a suit probably (depends on the job), they aren't trying to show them off there, but if they happen to have some visible, they can't really cover it. You can easily cover your no-no's

And yea, some face piercings can be weird to some, but it's their face.

See, that's always the problem with this ideology. This kid was NOT unique because of his 'look' and everyone wasn't going around staring bug-eyed at him. This was nothing more than a fashion trend. I checked for when this one came on and by this time, 1987, this was indeed very fashionable. It was not rebellious.

Young people have this twisted idea that people were obsessed by race etc in the 80s. Sorry youngsters. Things were quite well in the 80s and 90s. Your generation was manipulated and you reverted us back to Jim Crow. Thanks assholes.

just another day in paradise, etc...

have you ever been to a classical recital? feels like forever o'clock by the time it's done.

Fair, fair

I despise juggalos!

That'd be worse!!! Punks are a bunch of little girls by comparison to jugalos they're wanted by the FBI!!!

😂😯

all you need is Alice (Linda Lavin?) who works at a diner, and Chris Farley (RIP) to warn you if persist in looking punk, you'll end up living in a van down by the river.

Even bands like Black Flag were also influenced by Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane.

The term you want is "false dichotomy."

cute little Odie🥹💗

Épouse-moi ?

@brokenwindows8920 Those people freaking out then are now being awakened in the night in nursing homes for roll over and bed change. Bet they're really terrified now with some of the stupid crap people ink on their visible parts especially. 😢

It is not nonexsistant today, it is just that police are all power tripping jackasses today, so people hide. They cant hang out on the street without hassles, in this city. Street snd gutter punks still come thru here each summer though, and I hang with them sometimes because I used to be one of them. Now I am more of a goth punk I guess but it is not dead. Especially in other countries like Germany.

Maybe punks not gone and you’re just out of touch.

If you call another inmate in cali state prisons a punk, you're gonna lose your life

​@@AKayfabe Same here. You're right. I was in the Gothic punk scene in my hometown, but the pandemonium pandemic damn near killed it. And yes, the cops lurking around don't help. I gotta say though that I empathize with the O.P. I started in 1990. My Mom HATED it. She hated my motorcycle jacket & my Doc Martens. She said in tears, "Black girls don't dress like that!" I clapped back, "Well this one does!" She was sure as shit some Neo Nazi skinhead was going to beat me up & take my boots. (Like I'd let that happen.) At the time though there were no black kids who looked like me. Now, I see them EVERYWHERE. & I can't help but smile.

@@robynsegg I love this comment!
