Yes there were. I used to listen to Pat Duncan’s punk/hardcore show
on WFMU http://wfmu.org/playlists/PD a lot, and was creeped out by
how much reactionary stuff was on it in the early 1980s. That changed
as the decade went on, and it pretty much disappeared. But there was
plenty in the early Reagan years. A lot of it was anti-hippie, a
position I’m sympathetic with, but in an often hateful way.
