Gidgetgoes punk gag me!
What once was disdained as "socially
corruptive," can now be found in sales
bins at Sears. Punk clothing has been
taken on a 180 degree trip, or at least
for a spin in a suburban cul-de-sac.

Shaffer
Like any good movement, punk fas
hion spewed out In the mid-70s like
pus from an infection to protest op
pressive complacency. Pop music was
bland, there were no more "issues" like
those in the late '60s, and everyone was
content to sit on their arses. Almost
everyone.
Enter the Sex Pistols. And the
Ramones, Patti Smith, Generation X,
the Dead Boys, etc., etc.. Blooey! It was
time to throw convention through the
window and wake the sleeping dogs.
The more outrageous the better. Slam
dancing, ripped clothes, and funny
sunglasses.
As with any media phenomenon,
this press darling was soon taken under
the proper guidance of the mar
keteers. Not the least of these was Mal
colm McLaren, outfitter for the Sex
Pistols and later the creator of Adam
Ant and Bow-Wow-Wow.
McLaren owned a London Boutique
called SEX, and punks wanting to learn
the look but not creative enough to
do it themselves at home flocked to
the shop. Within months people were
buying rip-torn t-shirts. Sort of like
buying tye-dyed t-shirts at K-Mart in
the late '60s.
The verdict was in and so were
bizarre clothes and strange hairstyles.
The popularization continued to the
point that when Joe Strummer of the
Clash appeared on the cover of Com
bat Rock in a mohawk, it looked cliche .
The trend has continued. People
who were appalled just four years ago,
are now wearing things they used to
sneer at. Strange patterns and colors
and the individualistic nuances that
characterized the original idea behind
punk garb are now wash-and-wear. No
self-respecting punk of today (there
are a few left) would be caught dead in
the "manufactured punk" that ex
preppies now sport.
Sid Vicious is undoubtedly rolling in
his grave.

Visually-oriented things like posters and
lamps, should be bought with long-range
investment in mind, Goiter said.
The student can take these wherever
he or she moves in the future, while
things like used sofas and chairs and
dressers are likely to be sold or left
behind.
A student might want to spend a little
more for higher quality posters, but would
still be spending less than they would for
n 'ft-
artwork or tapestry.
Inexpensive, practical odds and ends
can add convenience to an apartment.
Miller & Paine has posters, lamps, art
work, mirrors and clocks of all sizes,
letterholders and other things.
To redecorate an apartment, Goiter
said students can expect to spend at
least 200 to 350 dollars. That includes
furniture. "And that's going to take some
looking," he said.
- '"But it could certainly be done"-
