That was certainly a big part of my growing up around Washington D.C. It had a good punk scene in the 80s and 90s, and its venues were a regular part of any respectable East Coast tour. If I had to choose, I don't know if this could be considered an ideal adolescent culture, but it's what we had and I'm thankful we had it.
I’m grateful for how IRL my teenage years were. It was all about going outside and being with people. We sometimes got into trouble, but we learned a lot about ourselves. The excessive drinking and drugging is the one thing I would not advise!
