my mum was a bit. She toned down weekdays but when I Was very young I remember her going out the door to go clubbing with heavy, heavy make up, crazy hair and fishnets, safetypins and pvc. The phase passed by a time I can properly recall her, she is now a midwife, runs a farm, has 2 more children that are much younger than me, claps at fireworks, carnivals and the telly and wears 3/4 length trousers like every mother over 30 seems to.

I am a student who works PT, so I don't have too much to worry about, and I'm training to be a youth and community worker, and so depending on the kind of work I go into when I qualify, I might have a degree of freedom in what I wear and do and say, and then again I might not! One of my lecturers is now head of school, so occasionally we see him in a shirt and tie and have a giggle with him 'cos we are used to a much more casual attire!

I was a punk - although my look was different during the day (I was in the army) - several of my colleagues were punks too. I am know an audiologist - although I often listen to punk rock at full volume in the car.
It made me laugh when a client in her 80s told me that she knew it was me visiting as she heard me playing Bliizkrieg Bop by the Ramones (I was too astounded to ask her how she knew)

Yes, had my hair moulded into spikes with soap (lovely), bondage trousers and lots of bin bag liners strapped to the body (very hot and sweaty) and wore a line of safety pins from ear to nose (precarious)

Well it became so main stream the only way to rebel was to stop wearing the clothes. I think it is pretty much the same for every generation they want to be different from what went before
