Alison Morooney never thought she was a rocker. She wasn't even a huge Green Day fan before she auditioned for musical "American Idiot." More than 175 shows later, her tune has changed. Green Day's anthem to suburban ennui, finding yourself and thrashing out the meaning of life resonates now.4

Each week, Val Haller, a music-obsessed baby boomer and the founder of the Web site Valslist.com, matches tracks from her generation to those of her 20-something sons’ generation.

My grandfather would say, “I’m feeling a bit punk.”

My father would say, “That kid is a punk.”

My husband would say, “Remember that punk band the Ramones?”

My son would say, “You’ve been punked.”

The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition opens to the general public on May 9: “Punk: From Chaos to Couture.”

Punk music is neither my favorite nor my forte.
