Reflection: I really liked the Rules of Rebellion: Slamdancing, Moshing and the American Alternative Scene because the title was very catching. This article gave me more insight on what different things I could talk about within this subculture. I liked how they presented not just one aspect of this culture. But then this in itself presents a problem because I need to figure out the focus of my paper. It does seem like it has a lot of information for me to look through which is always a good thing. They talk about punk music and how it influences kids to act this certain way. So overall, I feel like this is a great place to start.

interesting, there is certainly a thriving punk scene in atlanta, i am curious to see what you find, see if you can do some interviews.
Punk alternative seems like a good topic to pick. It seems like so many people have these stereotypes placed on them, it would be cool to see what they really are like!
Let me know if you ever want to head down to Little Five Points. They have a really good punk scene and there's a venue down there where local bands play. It's called the Variety Playhouse, it may be of some help to you.
