Punk

Punk music burst onto the scene in the mid-1970s, primarily in the UK, as a raucous answer to the overly polished rock of the time and a clarion call for rebellion against the establishment. It sounds like a chaotic blend of fast guitar riffs, raw vocals, and a fierce DIY ethos, often complete with songs that clock in at under two minutes, because who has time for long ballads anyway? This raucous genre not only crafted an ethos of independence but also inspired countless fashion choices that continue to confuse parents to this day.
