I don't know how to be cool. Which is fine. I'm cool with it, at this point. I feel like coolness is largely the arena of youth. In my case, I wasn't cool then, either. Once, when I was 15, I was hanging out with some friends, and I don't know what prompted it, but one of them told me I was already basically 30. She might have meant it as a dig, but I took it as an observation of basic fact. I took life pretty seriously. Good student, all that. I couldn't figure out how to dress in interesting ways, which at the time I was disappointed by but also decided to refuse to care about. Jeans and blank t-shirts for me. I've been 30 ever since. Well, at least until I was 40. I think I caught up around then. Now I'm 45. Still don't know how to be cool. But, as I said, I'm okay with that. Mostly.I've been thinking about it because a couple weeks ago I talked with someone who is definitely cool. I talked to her because I wanted to understand how punk scenes in the suburban Midwest are distinct from coastal cities. There are some pretty cool theories. But the conversation went beyond geography.Raechel Anne Jolie is a writer, scholar, teacher, and a queer femme who found her people at punk house shows as a teen in the early 2000s. Her memoir, Rust Belt Femme, came out in 2020, and was an NPR Favorite Book that year. She's written academic articles and essays and reporting in magazines like Teen Vogue and The Baffler, about class, queerness, pop culture, radical social movements, and more.We talked about how the built environment of the Midwest shaped the experience of punk music and house shows. We also talked about the general appeal, and complications, of coming of age in a punk scene in the early 2000s.CreditsThanks as always to the Inner States brain trust - Jillian Blackburn, Dom Heyob, and Natalie Ingalls - for crucial editorial guidance.Inner States is produced and edited by me, Alex Chambers.

Our exclusive interview with author Raechel Anne Jolie!  Her new book Rust Belt Femme is launching now! RUST BELT FEMME by Raechel Anne Jolie is a beautifully written memoir that addresses working class poverty in Northeast Ohio, identity, the saving grace of music, and the universality of the human condition. With shades of Sarah Smarsh, Michelle Tea, and Nico Walker, it has been called a compulsive read – something about the way Jolie writes just keeps you intrigued, and before you know it, you've read the whole thing in one siting! “I am offering this story of a queer Midwestern life to you in these pieces and parts, like spirits who materialize in the shadows when they are feeling restless and forgotten There is no way to make entirely coherent a life that is more assemblage than intersections, an existence that weaves in and out of time and space. But I think you'll be able to follow along, because whether our neurology is burdened by trauma or not, I think most of us who are drawn to memoir are burdened with an incurable case of nostalgia.” —from Rust Belt Femme by Raechel Anne Jolie With co-host Brody Levesque
