Sample Artifact

One of the artifacts of the punk culture would be their distinct clothing and more specifically their leather jackets. This is found on page 137 and also 143. These jackets are adorned with spikes, band names, and various logos. These jackets help these people identify with their specific community and that particular band or brand. Like it says in the text this type of clothing helps convey a message of "I'm not a normal member of society." It is also a way to be distinct and somewhat rebellious. These words and pictures represent the ideas and values of the punk culture.
