Summer 2023 saw the third-ever gathering\u2014complete with raucous tunes and head-banging memories<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor’s note: Arts & Sciences alum Melanie Lefkowitz \u201995 is editor-in-chief of the <\/em>Cornell Chronicle<\/a>\u2014and the drummer in the \u201990s \u201criot grrl\u201d band Pon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melanie Lefkowitz \u201995<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For members of the Ithaca 1990s punk community, \u201cdo it yourself\u201d was a guiding ethos\u2014whether it meant publishing a zine, putting on a show, or starting a band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I really liked about the punk scene,\u201d says A.J. Bouchie \u201999, \u201cwas that when someone said they were going to do something, they actually did it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Decades later, Bouchie and others channeled that DIY spirit in a new direction: reunion planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of that \u201990s local music scene, which included numerous Cornellians, held their first-ever Punk Rock Reunion<\/a> in Ithaca in 2016, followed by another in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer (July 2023) saw a third, which drew several dozen alumni and others to see old friends, visit campus with spouses and children\u2014and, of course, play and hear the music that had brought them all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best part is that everyone here is still a punk,\u201d says Jaime Villamarin \u201993, who performed at the 2022 and 2023 shows with his current band, the NYC-based Absolute Garbage.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cPeople\u2019s ideals haven\u2019t really changed, no matter what kind of clothes they wear. These are people who care about society, who want to change things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven years earlier, that first Punk Rock Reunion had exceeded expectations: more than 100 people showed up from as far away as Texas, Oregon, and South Korea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans packed a show\u2014featuring reunited \u201990s bands such as Stab, Cement Babyhead, Fat Finger, and Tuesday Said\u2014at the Nines, Collegetown\u2019s now-defunct bar and pizza place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Those who attended the reunion wanted to do it again; those who couldn\u2019t make it wanted another chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic scuttled plans to gather five years later\u2014but the two recent events each brought a mix of bands to Hopshire Brewery in nearby Dryden, with future reunions on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is that everyone here is still a punk.<\/p>\nJaime Villamarin \u201993<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad people still want to come back and do it,\u201d says Bouchie. \u201cAs long as people want to come back, I\u2019ll keep doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the 1990s, an alternative music scene was on the rise in Ithaca and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indie-label punk bands such as NOFX, Rancid, and Bad Religion (led by Greg Graffin, PhD \u201903) were drawing a national fanbase, and acts like Green Day and the Offspring were bringing the sound into the mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shows\u2019 PR was often handmade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n

Reunion organizer Mike Choi \u201997 encountered the 1990s punk scene through Just About Music (JAM), then a themed floor of a West Campus U-Hall and now its own North Campus program house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPunk rock is a subculture for people who don\u2019t really fit into the mainstream,\u201d he says. \u201cWe were a bunch of outcasts trying to find each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ithaca, punk shows were often held in the hot, crowded basements of Cornell co-op houses, heralded by hand-scrawled posters tacked around campus. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes band members had just learned how to play their instruments\u2014or were still learning as they performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe complete rebelliousness of it was awesome,\u201d says Villamarin, who was the original drummer for the punk trio I Farm as an undergrad. \u201cIt worked because punk was getting popularized on TV. Kids in every town knew punk. Kids in every town were doing zines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music was important; so was the style, whether it meant dyeing your hair, festooning torn clothes with safety pins, or simply dressing however you wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those who were part of the scene\u2014not just Cornellians but Ithaca College students and locals\u2014friendship was the primary appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe became fans of one another,\u201d says Jessica Troy \u201998. \u201cI was from California; this was an alternative scene and it made sense to me. These were the people I was drawn to. They had their own sense of style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merging bands from Cornell, IC, and the local community was key\u2014as was connecting in real life in an era before social media and YouTube, says Arun Chaudhary \u201997, whose set with the Nogoodniks at the most recent reunion featured his 10-year-old daughter on backup vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou had to have not just skills, but craft\u2014whether that meant knowing how to make a button or learning how to press records,\u201d says Chaudhary, who was also the bassist and lead singer of I Farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, people are already armed with some of the things that we would have had to figure out ourselves, together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
