Punk Rock is a music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s, characterized by its fast tempos, short song durations, and raw sound. It often features aggressive lyrics that challenge societal norms and express anti-establishment sentiments. Bands like The Ramones and Sex Pistols were pivotal in shaping the genre's identity.
Beyond music, Punk Rock represents a broader cultural movement that embraces individuality and rebellion. The DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic is central to Punk, encouraging artists to produce and distribute their work independently. This spirit has influenced various aspects of art, fashion, and activism within the Punk community.
