**'You should be gassed': What it meant to be punk in East Germany**
"They were outsiders, teenagers, rebelling against confinement. They were despised by citizens loyal to the state, harassed by GDR authorities, and locked up in prison. But being punk also meant freedom."
@dw Around 1989 I was 13 years old and I was running home to go for student's demonstations and running from cops & tear gas. It was absolutely fantastic feeling of freedom and the commie bastards losing power :)
