This article desribes early mass media and their relationships to punks rock bands in the 1970's. It also explains the sterotypes of "Scared Clowns" and "Holy Fools". Both sterotypes have negative meanings, often refering to someone as a scared clown or holy fool would mean that they are stupid or shameful.
