Thoreau, Punk, & the Art of Nonconformity

Both Punk Rock and Henry David Thoreau are grounded in the simple act of nonconformity. Walden, a Life in the Woods is at its heart and in its central thesis an exercise in nonconformity. It truly was meant to be and remains a guidebook for nonconformists. The same is obviously true for the subculture, nay culture, that sprang up around and because of punk rock.
