Yeah, exactly, and the people who were wearing what came to be seen as classic punk styles were painting and sticking studs in their own jackets, not buying ready made merch.
For me, a lot of that DIYness moved from squats in cities to the crusty punks in the UK and the feral hippies in Australia who tried living off the grid and using solar panels before they were easily available and cheap, which might be why I have no trouble tacking punk onto solar.
The only other thing that hit me so hard in the nostalgia feels was Vi är bäst! (We are the Best!), a film about 13 yo girls in Stockholm who form a punk band.

This photo collection has been doing the rounds on fb,and it was so great to see pictures of how people actually dressed in the 80s (I wish they had put the photos in something resembling chronological order, tho, I found some of the juxtapositions jarring.) “Untypical Girls”: Early Photographs Of Women In Punk From Between The Late 1970s And Early 1990s
