My high school was hardcore punk.

Sex Pistols, PIL, Dead Kennedys and Bad Brains were the bands of choice.

Movie scouts once raided our drama dept. for X-tras for some movie called "Repo Man." Needed skinheads and the like. "Preppies" need not apply.

So...

If you mentioned Depeche Mode around those guys, you ended up with a super atomic wedgie or something.

So...

Those who knew better became closet Depeche Mode lovers. They were cool though the lead singer was ugly.

Here's some more:

very early Midnight Oil - the Aussies rocked back then. Dyvinyls too (wonder if you guys heard of them). They had the Aussie version of Chrissie Hynde (sp?)

Speaking of which...um...The Pretenders. (nothing is like "Mystery Achievement.")
