Sometimes it just takes time for them to see you for who you are. You're expressing your own sense of style--nothing wrong with that. Maybe the stuff they took away from you offended them. Did they leave you with any bits of your punk identity? I would go shopping with just you and Mom if possible and try to find some things that are middle of the road. What if you were to wear dark clothes, but nothing with band's names or gross sayings on them? Can you two come to some sort of an agreement at all on clothes you could wear? Or makeup and jewlery? Maybe it's possible. She might not get exactly what she wants and you might not get exactly what you want, but hopefully you guys can come to some sort of compromise.

Try talking to your parents about things other than your clothing and music choices. Try talking to them about what life was like when you were little, what their life was like when they were dating, stuff like that. Maybe they can see that your personality is caring and loving, even though your clothing says F**k You.

I would say that they are concerned with what path you may go down. Unfortunately in this world there is still sterotyping and you get judged by your cover. If you are a good person and stick to the right side of the law then I can't see why they should have any issues. I guess they want you to stay there 'little girl' forever, and don't want you to have to endure others critisism to your appearance - they could also see it as a reflection on there parenting. You will just have to reassure them through your actions that your appearance is not going to change you - I would say give them a little time.
