About This Category
Punk erupted in the mid-1970s as a direct reaction against bloated stadium rock and mainstream excess. The Ramones blasted through New York with short, fast, three-chord anthems. Across the Atlantic, the Sex Pistols shocked Britain with sneers and rebellion, while The Clash gave punk political fire. Later, Dead Kennedys added razor-sharp satire, and Green Day carried the torch into the 90s, sparking a new wave. Punk thrives on speed, simplicity, and attitude: buzzing guitars, rapid drum beats, and vocals that spit defiance. Concerts turned into mosh pits of sweat, energy, and collective release. Punk is less about virtuosity and more about honesty—it says anyone can grab a guitar, shout their truth, and shake the system. The spirit is alive in every chord: furious, urgent, unfiltered. So dive in, raise your fist, and scream until your lungs burn—Punk calls you to live loud, raw, and free!
