![]() Prior to punk, many of these later scene stalwarts were enthusiastically dressed up participants (eye liner, long hair, fishnets, platform shoes) at the midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the cinema on M Street. Many grew up in the Georgetown and Northwest areas of DC, where they developed a sense of social justice by witnessing its injustices first hand - they were rich kids living in a privileged world, a social elite. Aside from Black Market Baby and the few suburban punk bands that followed, the majority of the DC hardcore bands were made up of middle/upper class private school educated children of diplomats and other members of the Washington establishment at the time. ![]() Other DC hardcore bands from this time period are Fire Party, Dag Nasty, Second Wind.
