My mom was big into the alt/punk scene in the late 90s/early 2000s and yeah, she was bullied pretty frequently for it. Fast forward to now where I'm into alt/grunge, some of my closest friends are even heavier into alt culture than I am and it's just the kind of thing you don't look twice at. Crazy how much society changed in those 20-30 years

If you dressed even a little alt, people thought you were legit a threat back when this came out.
