Exact same experience with the exception - born and raised in Los Angeles - our rednecks were the jocks. I was into Punk Rock all through high school, spiked my hair, wore clothes to truly “shock” people around me. Ironically almost all Punk music was anti-Reagan so being raised in a conservative family I was conflicted with the message. I loved the movement and for the most part the message “anti-government” which I took as less government. Here I was open minded enough to disagree with what was being screamed into a microphone but could be friends with those who were too brainwashed/uneducated to see the actual reality.
Today I see the similarities of the Punk Rock scene back then and Donald Trump now, it’s not so on the surface because it’s such a juxtaposition but it’s there. And I love every minute of it!
