See THIS is the kind of silly "after school special" I was thinking in my head. The video I clicked on before this was dark and sad. ):

I remember watching this as a kid. His parents should be happy that their son didn't end up like the kids in the movies, "Suburbia" or "Class of 1984"... just sayin.' People just shouldn't judge others based on appearance. However, if I had ever dressed in my usual attire at my former office job; I would have been fired.

Hollywood: I don't know what this "punk" is and the music but let's make a movie about it! Punks: wtf is this? This isn't even punk this is rock and roll. Hollywood: close enough

The photo of the guy above the word "punk" looks like a cross between Dave Gahan lead singer of Depeche Mode and Philip Oakey lead singer of The Human League. LOL!

This was the after school special that planted the seed for what I would become later in life... that and the fact that my high school crush wrote in my yearbook to "Turn Punk". 🤣

OH MY GOD! String Racers! Those things were sweet. I knew two friends who had them and after we spent half an hour untangling the damn things we entertained ourselves for ten minutes or so.

I know it is just a film, but I wonder why many kids feel like they have to choose between two extremes? At the end he could have chosen to study classical during the day, and explore other expressions of music on the weekend that did not require such an extreme look. When he’s older he could have combined all aspects of both genres, like a true musician. In the meantime he would have acquired applied knowledge from playing with a contemporary band and proper classical music training from school. If they really wanted to make these after school specials teach valuable life lessons, they should have shown how to make life decisions. Young adults and kids learn this ability from very limited sources.

Shes well know here and shes been in MMA since she was 7 and shes a instructor now in 2 schools teaching adults and younger people in kick boxing.Trust me you dont want to mess with her. Shes worked so hard to get her body the way it is, She can do almost more then 35 pounds on each arm,ect Shes a first degree blk belt at the age of 12 and it wasnt given to her easy .She earns everything and its worth every hair color lol and then some,Everyone knows her in our town and they all love her.

Idk what I like more, the movie or the commercials. Whatta blast from the past!

Holy shit, not only this episode, but those commercials😮 I totally forgot but I now remember about 99% of those commercials. This period of time was definitely around the time of my adolescences, it’s all here😂

The 80s were so straight laced. I always embraced those who dared to be different.

Okay, I don't understand why Terry couldn't just wash off his make-up, take out his earring, and comb down his hair (maybe with a little gel) to play with the school orchestra, and then revert to the punk look when he's playing with his punk rock band. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

"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!

Ain't nothing going to change. Self respect starts within. If it ain't there before, it never will be.

After (finally) escaping a staunchly religious and repressive household, I have started to dress in ways I find awesome and more indicative of my political and personal perspectives (which are becoming increasingly aligned with the anarcho-punk and crust punk scenes of the mid-1980s)

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.

Remember kids, going punk is just when you buy new clothes.

Albert Hague from Fame! My sister loved Fame; she collected albums from the TV series. She also taped almost every episode of the series.

I sure missed these days and these actors. I went punk around the same time this movie came out ! Ha! Good times ! THE BEST OF TIMES !(STYX)
