Anarcho-punk is a subgenre of punk rock music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It combines the raw energy of punk with political and social activism, often advocating for anarchism and anti-establishment views. Bands like Crass and Conflict are notable for their lyrics that challenge authority and promote individual freedom. The movement is not just about music; it also encompasses a DIY (do-it-yourself) ethic, encouraging fans to create their own art, literature, and events. Anarcho-punk often features themes of environmentalism, anti-capitalism, and social justice, making it a platform for various forms of protest and expression.
