I was wondering if this true, and what it was like back than?
I got this from JFA site and I was wondering if it is true?
When I look back at those early times, when being a punker meant everybody from cops to parents to schoolmates and teachers all hated you, one of the things that sums up that whole saga of my life best is a flyer for an early JFA/TSOL show at Madison Square Gardens in Phoenix. It has a drawing my buddy Sean made of a punker puppet about to kick *** on a couple of unsuspecting jocker puppets. Artistic justice.
Did listenting to punk,hardcore,metal and skateboarding, riding bmx,inlining,or surfing, get you beat up a lot in the 80's

No. I'm 38 years old and was directly involved in the punk and hardcore scene back then. There were so few of us that most of us stuck together when we found each other.
The big "beef" back then was punks vs. jocks. There was a lot of posturing, threat-making, and ugly stares but actual violence was very rare. We looked and acted weird enough to scare most people off anyway.
A lot of people, especially the musicians, into the movement were quite intelligent and trying to get a real point across. Most of us realized that senseless violence was just that and reserved it for self-defense purposes only.

Not necessarily. Other than details of what is in or cool, people's attitudes and prejudices are pretty much on the same levels today (in a general way ie: clicks and in-crowds, etc.) as they were in the 80's or in the 50's or ... pick a date in history.

Not really. In my high school (I graduated in 89), the skater punks were pretty cool, and got along with most people, including the preppies and the metal heads (everyone shunned the 'geeks', I guess. who are all making lots more money than we are, I'm sure).

In some places, probably. Skaters, metalheads and surfers tended to get hassled and sometimes beaten up by cops, usually for drug use, which was pretty prevalent in those groups.
