Punk

Punk is a genre of music that began in the mid-1970s in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is characterized by aggressive, fast-paced rhythms and loud, distorted guitars. Punk is often associated with anti-establishment and anti-conformity ideologies, and the punk subculture includes a variety of other activities, such as fashion, art, politics, and activism. Punk bands often take a DIY approach to their music, creating their own instruments, recording their own albums, and performing their own shows. Punk music has had a major influence on a variety of genres, including rock, hardcore, pop, and alternative.
