Punk (culture)

Punk (English for rig, scum) refers since the mid- seventies of the twentieth century to a movement within the youth culture that mistrust of the great ideologies and theautonomy of the individual first.

Originally it was both a musical as a social phenomenon, which is located in the period 1976/1977 manifested as a reaction to the environment, of its sources and developed from-estranged, pop music contrived and her being as widely accepted part of industry and society. Associated with the generation of young people belonging to a new social discontent, especially in the traditional class consciousness and economic recession-ridden England, expressed this reaction in music that, like in 1955 and 1963 went out of its simplest form: rock and roll.

The aversion against the established order, and thus against existing publishing houses, art galleries and record labels, had a do-it-yourself mentality as a result. A large number of punks was attracted to anarchism because of the quest for a society without power and authority. ==For History[ Edit] == Punks  were not the first who translated their disgust in provocative absurdism. The phenomenon carries characteristics of Dadaism, situational ethics and provo, but thanks to the mass media will find a much larger audience.
