Post Punk

Promoting ground breaking sounds subversive with minimal instrumentation, anchored by explosive guitar riffs, snare drum rhythm and lyrics anarchic punk groups quickly turned into a massive cultural fact. Young found a way to express themselves through the Do It Yourself (DIY) attitude reflected in distinctive clothing, hairstyle and artwork to convey a radical new spirit generated by punk groups.

The etymology of the word "punk" of the 70 denoted a very low social status. However, the emergence of punk groups in the first half of the 70s, the word punk was used to describe anything different, anti-popular, controversial, anti-established. To deny any association with the mainstream, punk music was born and raised in the area local, clear, energetic and vibrant scene in London and New York, echoing the attitudes of a rebellious youth music insured scandalous and outrageous.

UK SCENE EXAMINATION

Being very angry at the system and highly politicized, UK Punk groups did influence of a whole generation with its infectious spontaneously burst of violence and isolation against commercialism and political correctness.

In the United Kingdom, punk managed to turn to anarchy and chaos to real political philosophy presented by groups like Crass and Conflict.

U.S. STAGE REVIEW

U.S. punk scene is the result of the huge impact of British punk scene in the world. Although most immature and definitely less controversial than its partners in the UK, U.S. punk groups rose in the East and West Coast of the communication of the need for a substantial audience in the States of origin, hard, not easily absorbed and completely against the grain of the music.

In the U.S., the punk was fundamentally different than the scene in the UK in relation to violence and the outbreak. The U.S. political system at that time was rather affecting Afro-Americans in urban America than white children socially acceptable in the suburbs. Basic knowledge of music is reflected brilliantly simplistic, however, surprisingly dominant points of the Ramones always a generation minimalist punk sounds catchy. At the same time, the U.S. punk musical groups and introduced the song speed soon to launch their revolution.

The largest groups of U.S. punk scene are the Ramones, The Dead Kennedys, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Stooges, MC5, and New York Dolls, which have greatly influenced U.S. post-punk and alternative bands like Sonic Youth, Green Day, Nirvana and others.

Punk inevitably deflated in the 80s, being hijacked by commercialism and fashion. Become a tool to increase profitability, punk soon became conventional and expected. A Despite efforts to heal wounds with alternative rock bands, the punk movement died long ago as their struggle against the establishment of philosophy long while being integrated into the dominant culture.

About the Author:

I work as a financial and investment advisor but my passion is writing, music and photography. Writing mostly about finance, business and music, being an amateur photographer and a professional dj, I am inspired from life.

Being a strong advocate of simplicity in life, I love my family, my partner and all the people that have stood by me with or without knowing. And I hope that someday, human nature will cease to be greedy and demanding realizing that the more we have the more we want and the more we satisfy our needs the more needs we create. And this is so needless after all.
