We're Having Much More Fun

We're Having Much More Fun celebrates the ways punks have built and documented their own misfit collectives since the mid-1970s, assembling alternative worlds of riotous music, art, fashion, and writing. Paying special attention to queer punks, women punks, and punks of color.

This book ranges across the United States and over multiple generations, highlighting the diverse people who make punk happen and where the punk communities coalesced. Over four hundred color images of rare flyers, photos, zines, letters, and more showcase the creative and political energy that has fueled punk from the start.

New interviews and essays featuring Aaron Cometbus, Anna Joy Springer, KK Barrett and Tommy Gear of the Screamers, to Ian MacKaye, and many more-as well as captions by additional artists, photographers, and fans-tell the stories behind the images, music, and scenes. Every page is an invitation from punk's past and present to build your own future.
