Punk Rock

Punk rock is a genre of music that emerged in the 1970s, characterized by its fast tempos, loud and raw sound, and often rebellious or anti-establishment lyrics. It emphasizes simplicity and energy over technical complexity, reflecting a desire to challenge mainstream music and cultural norms. Punk rock also fostered a DIY (do-it-yourself) attitude, encouraging independent production and a sense of community among fans. The style extends beyond music to include distinctive fashion and attitudes, representing a form of self-expression, individuality, and social critique.
