Okay, so was Marilyn Manson among those punks? I thought that might be him with the leather officer's hat sitting at the back.

Look at all these old white Karens

1:50 i like this woman. she says she doesn't get it but is still respectful

The same thing happened with Elvis then The Beatles. Those parents in the audience were hypocrites lol.

I remember seeing this when I was 10 and others like Geraldo. Already liking punk music it only fuelled my punk ethos to today. I am a 52 year old punk rock family dad , musician. This was a hilarious look back having lived thru it. 🤣🤘🇨🇦

Serena Dank. 🤣

Few of the audience members are listening to anyone or even trying to understand, but I respect Phil Donahue for mediating and coming at this with an open mind. It's absurd to assume the scattered group of young people all hold unified beliefs or behave the same way, and equally absurd to put these young people on the spot to give immediate solutions for ending fascism: we're still slowly creeping toward that in 2024. Respect to the young punks, too, they were right.

gotta love the pseudo hitler stache

There are lots of different punk scenes, but the general attitude is that punks don't settle, and overall that is a good attitude. The young woman at 24:04 in the pink looks punk herself. It just shows how much 1981 makeup styles lent to punk fashion. The same could be said about the woman in the goth looking white blouse who is the anti-punk advocate. She looks very punk.

Be Yourself '''' '' Nobody Else You Got To Be "" """ Be Youseffff...... Be "" "" Be All That You Can Be "" """ Get An Edge On Life "" In The AaaaaaaRMY!!

The original commericials were far more creepier then the tame punk rockers.

Im looking for the joke with the microscope......

Craziest thing about any of this was the unexpected Aldi advert. Blew my mind.

...and that's how Trumpers were made, lil Susie

The woman at 0:25... "I think they're going against society, but they've all got their own group of what they're doing. If it were my child, he wouldn't be living in my house looking like that. If he had purple hair, it would be cut in the middle of the night -- *if* I couldn't hold him down to cut it." All because these young adults were expressing freedom and individuality. Old women, 90-year-olds, tell me they love MY purple hair (Arctic Fox in shade "Purple AF" lol) and they tell me they wish they could pull it off. I always tell them to just go for it... if you've wanted to have purple hair, and you never could, but you're retired now... do it! Go to the salon and treat yourself with a semi-permanent color! Life goes by way too fast to not express yourself, you get one body/one lifetime. Thanks, Gen X, for starting the modern revolution of self-expression through more alternative routes. I would not be able to go out and have YOUR parents compliment my hair without you. I know that's worded kinda sarcastically to show how ironic it is haha... but genuinely, thank you.

Rest in peace Donahue!

I’m not sure which is wilder, the fact that the 1950s parenting ideal still existed in the 80s or that the “ punk kids” in the audience are all 60 years old now or pushing it.

I’m just here for the commercials. Anybody else remember butterscotch toll house cookies? 26:14

The crazy thing is what I find OFFENSIVE is what those "normal" people were wearing!!! THAT'S the real sin. I can honestly say, their style did not age gracefully...YUCK!!!

Every generation has pissed their parents off with the music, and clothing. Let them live, life is short. At this time rap is pissing off the older generation. I imagine there will be things that get to the rappers when they have teenagers 😂

Wow, the judgement! Times have changed. I always felt like choosing what was important had nothing to do with hair, or clothing, or their music. I was a hippie, these kids are doing what's been going on for ages. I'm 71 and just started listening to the Cure!

‘They want to be called people.’ Oh gosh. Ya don’t say?

I'm seeing so many parallels to the trans panic of the present day. Parents who would prefer to see their kids in their own image above all other things.

Oh good❤

I wonder how many of the "punkers" ended up working, getting educated/entrepreneurship, becoming family oriented parents and buying homes/property. They'd be 58-65 now in September 2024.

Its funny because most of the people on the alternative side are clearly adults

Ursula’s son must have been a late in life mistake. She looks like a grandmother

"Punkers." At my school, you had better just call them punks or punk rockers. "Punkers." Lol

Listen in the very beginning to these curmudgeons for "mothers" in the audience. *TOUGH LOVE IS NEITHER!*

Get a haircut and fit in. Being part of the crowd is fun

31:15 this guy looks very familiar, ive seen him in a movie or two. Cant put my finger on it.

those commercials are treat to see, ahhhhh...nostalgia.

I love that the kids applaud the mom who says she wouldn't live with them in her house. I never knew Phil Donahue was such a square. These kids today with their rock and roll and their haircuts and their crazy dancing. When will it stop!!!! I never slam danced with anyone who was trying to scrape me with spikes! If the parents are still alive, they're MAGA

Punk literally translates to r@ping a young boy

Looking back on this its so stupiddd lol

What's considered normal has always been wrong

I love the girl at 31:00. Feels like I know her.

Feeling nostalgic for how little someone had to do to be considered different. A bit of hair dye and a studded cuff? It's downright cuddly.

Donahue ahead of his time

Serena Dank, prefers to kick back with a blunt

From February 1982 I saw the original broadcast at 9am on kfyr Bismarck North Dakota

killer

posers

Barnaby Jones

Punk girls with mohawks in high school. I miss it. Music, art, fashion. Creative expressions that were common place. Fun. I would hate to be in high school now. It must be so boring. The normals and their obligatory tattoos.

Ya!!
