I can finally share this, this is a piece I did for the official book tie in (The Shards Guide to Being Hot & Rich) for the FX series The Shards. I still can’t believe this, this is my first real project 🥹 I really don’t get to do a lot of stuff like this because of my niche.
A note: I did very much do my research for this. You can find sources from the early 80s using the term “punk” to refer to things we would definitely call new wave now. The Preppy Handbook even references so called “punk preps”, that enjoy music like Talking Heads, but obviously through today’s lens we would call that new wave and not punk.
