Honorable Notes
Mary Harron, later known as the award-winning director of American Psycho, I Shot Andy Warhol, and The Notorious Bettie Page, started her career writing for Punk magazine after finding that no mainstream publication would hire her.
Roberta Bayley documented the CBGB scene in a series of now-iconic photographs, including the one that graced the cover of the first Ramones album.
Jayne County came out as the first openly transgender musician in 1979; and BDSM leather became the stereotypical punk outfit. The goal was to smash through people’s perceptions of what was typical and allowed.
