Abstract
This article draws on interviews with a number of people who took part in the punk scene in Belfast during the Troubles. In doing so it argues that the scene can be understood, in part, as an engagement with sectarianised space and segregation in the north of Ireland. It argues that reading the narratives of former punks for the felt and affective geographies of segregated and sectarianised space helps to give us a clearer sense of everyday life for young people during the war.
