Were you around for the satanic panic bullshit in the 70s or 80s? They painted punks (which were lumped in with metalheads and anyone who didn’t dress like yuppies) as dangerous degenerates back then.
Worked as a nice filter to gain more independent thinkers into those genres though I guess, so it worked out in the end.

I wasn’t around personally but I’m familiar with the story.
My point is really that any reasoning person sees that the punk mindset is generally pretty morally sound.
I don’t think the parents, preachers and politicians involved in the satanic panic were super logical people tbh.
