"Punk rock and mental health have been intertwined since the very beginning. Nervous breakdowns, anxiety, seeking acceptance, attempting to overcome internalized demons, and reacting to harmful and oppressive systems -- punk rock embodies and emboldens all our feelings and experiences, positive and negative. Hardcore Anxiety charts and tracks punk movements from the '70s till today, from small towns to stadiums, from the struggles in our heads to the people actively harming us in our communities. Told from the point of view of a young man discovering punk and working through mental illness in Evansville, Indiana, this stunning nonfiction graphic novel gives punks the most important advice of all: 'You aren't alone. You're going to make it through alive.'" -- Back cover. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I'm not sure he really lands his thesis that punk rock directly addresses mental health issues in a special way that enabled him to rise against his depression and self-harm. Based on the timeline presented a skeptic might make the case that letting go of punk rock music and getting professional assistance is what actually put him on the road to recovery. But then, the passage of time is a bit vague as he skips from moment to moment.
Overall, this feels like a first-time effort, lacking polish in writing and art and tending toward the melodramatic.
p.s., I decided not to mention the multiple copyediting mistakes in my initial review, but while indexing the people mentioned in the book, I verified that the name of one of the idolized musicians, Paul Westerberg of the Replacements, is actually misspelled in the book. Oof! ( )
