ture——PUNK

Although most punk bands are surprisingly similar and their works are too monotonous, many famous punk bands have their own distinctive personality characteristics, such as the Ramones’ Bubblegum Pop music, the Face-style power chords of the Sex Pistols, the pop feel of Buzz cocks, the reggae elements of the Clash, the artistic experimental features of Wire, etc. Since then, punk has gradually transitioned into post-punk, new wave, hardcore and other styles. In the mid-1980s, the punk movement as a whole fell into a low ebb. hardcore punk, pre-punk, NewWave, PostPunk, Synth-Pop, Synth-Pop, PowerPop, NoWave, PunkRevival etc. British critic Jon Savage wrote that history is made by those who say "no", and in 1976 there was no louder "no" than punk rock music. From the beginning, punk stood angrily against this phenomenon. And, like all rock genres and subgenres, punk is hardly a completely new movement. The definition of the word punk seems unclear, but its omnipresent heavy metal-like power, unrestrained self-expression, happiness is complete, clear and always uncensored. Overturning even includes overturning oneself---the essence of punk. Punk used crude music to elevate his/p>

Punk

's explicit rebellious behavior to a philosophical level. The theory creates a distorted sense of responsibility and a fringe cultural phenomenon. The hippies came to an end with their "utopian" gentle and beautiful idealism, while the subsequent new generation went to the opposite extreme. Instead of praying to God, it is better to surrender to God. Today, people are talking more about the inner thoughts of punk rock, so they say, "Focus Interview is punk, Nietzsche is punk, Lu Xun is punk, computers that frequently crash are punk..." That's a far cry, but No matter what, punk has always lived in our world, just like our shadow, always following us. Rock music is a corrupted emotion oppressed by a false consciousness of self-exploitation, while punk is an aesthetically acceptable but politically doomed contradiction. Its unique approach revolutionized the styles of American and British music. Punk music has always existed quietly in the United States, eventually giving birth to the concepts of hardcore rock and indie rock in the 1980s. In the UK, punk rock became the darling of the public. The UK is not the birthplace of punk rock. It is still a place where punk music flourishes and cultural collisions occur, firmly holding on to its different ideas from the United States in expressing anger and rebellion.

The "Sex Pistols" punk band is known as "the vanguard of the British punk revolution".

Following: Crash, Curse, Roxy, Blasphemous etc.

Their music styles may be different, but the characteristics of their music are the same, that is: rebellion, rebellion, rebellion again! Rebel against tradition, rebel against the system, rebel against the increasingly boring life without passion and meaning. Each of them has a strong revolutionary consciousness. In fact, their purpose is to set off a great revolution that penetrates into every corner of life in the mediocre European continent in the 1970s and 1980s, so as to lead mankind to the future. Add some color to your journey. The creations of punk musicians often point directly at human beings' stubbornness and challenge all established rules. They use simple chords to express simple emotions, and use vulgar and clear language to tell the beauty and ugliness of human nature. They praise marijuana and God; they advocate promiscuity and call for society to pay attention to the children of single parents; they curse war, but abuse violence in their lives; they live in chaos, but are full of yearning for the future, and they are subverting the old Some wasteful cultures also create new wastes. In short, like the "Beat Generation" in literature and "Dadaism" in art, they represent a possibility and multiple options for the direction of human development, and are a direct reflection of the multiple contradictions of human beings. reflect.

Then, punk culture moved from the stage to life, and they began to express their determination to revolutionize in various aspects other than performances: wearing jeans with holes, painted with skulls and beautiful women; men combing their hair The women have extremely cool comb hair, and the women have shaved all their hair to reveal their blue scalp; they have pierced noses and pierced rings; their bodies are covered with indigo fluorescent powder. They seem to have to make you look at them sideways to be satisfied. In fact, what are they? No, it's just to show their difference, their rebellion, and their dissatisfaction with this real society. If you think they dress up like this to show that they are punks, you are wrong. In the words of punks: "I am a punk, so I am a punk. If it is to make people recognize that I am a punk, I dress up like a punk." If so, then it must not be a real punk. "In today's society, everything seems to be fake, including fake brand-name products; fake police fines; fake blind beggars, and of course fake punks.

These fake punks constantly label themselves as punks and fighters, "I Only know three chords!" God knows if they said this because they failed to practice hard on the fourth chord. In fact, they are just ordinary people who are more hypocritical than ordinary people. There are vulgar people who pretend to be punks, and there are punks who pretend to be vulgar people. The former is to satisfy desires and vanity, while the latter is to satisfy inner and spiritual needs.

Punk's cockscomb hair, also known as "Mohawk", originated from an Indian tribe in North America. The hairstyle worn by the Mohawk tribe is the Mohawk hairstyle.

After the Industrial Revolution in Britain, its glory seemed to dim during World War II. The entire British economy is in depression, with unemployment reaching new highs. In this context, amidst the ruins emerged a sparkling cultural renaissance that was worse than garbage at the time.

It is the punk revival that everyone is familiar with.

The earliest punk was a completely derogatory term. It is a derogatory name for gangsters in the upper class or ordinary people. Just like "gangster" and "little hooligan" in Chinese. This is not wrong, because the young people who made the big waves were exactly such a group. No one in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s could have imagined that such a group of "punks" would create the miracles they have today. Even these "ancestors" could not imagine .

As the economy looks bleak, unemployment rises. The whole of Britain was dead. Drugs, alcohol, etc. are also highly consumed. Under such circumstances, young people in society are extremely dissatisfied and express their inner dissatisfaction in naked ways. It is in great contrast to the traditional image of a gentleman in Britain. He is unadorned and his naked swear words insult the society full of wounds. Noise without any melody, anti-social, anti-human, uncivilized, and extreme elements merged into the original "punk".

The original "punk" had no inherent content, it was just a way to vent. It's like you bought a fake product in a store, and you cursed at the sky, etc. Doesn't mean anything. The earliest "punks" stood on the street, beating rhythmless drums, playing noises, and shouting their dissatisfaction with society and the government. Everyone avoided them with disgust.

In such an environment, the original "punks" developed behaviors that were inconsistent with society. The idea was simple, since you don't like us, then let's just be who we are, and you don't want to influence us.

Then these noises, these behaviors that nakedly bear the traditional image of British gentlemen, have inspired more and more people who are dissatisfied with society, including those who paint, those who play music, and those who wear clothes. There are workers, farmers, and some people in the normal group. Under the objectionable social tone, they put aside their hypocritical clothes and joined the "punk" team.

Their efforts gave punk its spirit. If the "gangsters" created the soul of punk, then these "normal" people created the flesh and blood of punk. They found a unique way of playing from the noise, and heavily referenced the musical components of rock drums, bass, and electric guitar. Let punk music evolve from noise to uplifting songs.

They have only one purpose, to let society hear dissatisfaction, naked dissatisfaction. It's not the edited editorials in newspaper news.

With the rise of punk music, punk ideas have been positioned. It's not profound at all, it's simple. Use my words, use what I want to say, express my dissatisfaction. Use my behavior, use the behavior I want to do, to trigger the roar of the crowd...

The appearance of soul and body is destined to have a shell.

Suits and leather shoes, this symbol of Britain, are greatly loved by fashion designers influenced by punk ideas. Abandoned the traditional sense of stability. The strong national style Scottish plaid adds strong colors of red and black. Metal is even more indispensable under the element of rock and roll. The bleak outfits influenced by Goths have also become punk's own elements. Adding more street elements, old, worn, and broken, it became the shell of punk.

When this wind started blowing, no one even imagined that it could hit the whole of Great Britain like a tornado. Under the original ideological tone of punk, more extreme and naked styles also appeared. opposite. Against everything, anti-society, anti-religion, even anti-humanity. Androgynous, worshiping waste, drugs and alcohol. Make punk look more crazy and absurd.

Punk is like a shining diamond in a scrap pile, arousing more people's attention. Punk is also like a huge beast that continues to strengthen itself, swallowing metal elements, gothic elements, rock elements, everything that can be swallowed up. And it has developed to this day under the flood of time.

Today's punk is no longer true original punk. Although that dull and extreme period has been covered up by today's gorgeous elements, there have been pop punk, rock punk, heavy metal punk, gothic punk, rap punk...

They may be completely different, or even mutually exclusive. Do not acknowledge each other.

But it is undeniable that the supreme "credo" of "use your own voice to speak your own words" baptizes every punk lover.

Edit this paragraph's origin and development

PUNK is a musical force that emerged in the 1970s and was against the traditional rock and commercial rock of the time. PUNK is translated as "punk" in mainland China; translated as "punk" in Taiwan, and "collapse" in Hong Kong. In the West, the definition of PUNK in the dictionary is (slang) hooligan, trash, prostitute, child molester, inferior, etc. (although its meaning has changed to a certain extent now). It has been 25 years since "PUNK" magazine was first founded by Leg McNeil in 1975, and then the Sex Pistols formed the trend of this music. To understand PUNK’s impact on the world and indoor spaces, we must first understand the meaning and development of PUNK.

Rock & Roll

In fact, as early as the early 1930s, there was a song called Rock & Roll in the United States, but there was no such music name at that time. The most well-known name for this term was DJ-Alan Freed, who first used the term "rock concert" on his radio show in 1951. It is said that New York still calls him the King of Rock and Roll. And with the song Rock Around The Rock by Bill Haley and his Comets, which stayed on the charts for 8 weeks in 1955, and fueled by the song's success, Rock became known to the world. It is so well known that some people call 1955 the Rock Era, and Bill Henry is also known as the father of rock and roll.

Early rock music came from a wide range of sources, mainly including blues, R&B, and country music, as well as gospel, traditional pop, jazz, and folk music. All these influences add up to a simple blues-based song structure that's fast, danceable, and easy to remember. The first rock stars—Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, Carl Perkins, and many others—established the style of rock music. model, and one that would be followed for the next forty years.

From British invasion, folk rock, psychedelic rock, to hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, and punk, in fact every rock subgenre was loyal to the most basic structure of rock when it was first produced. But once this change occurred, traditional rock gradually disappeared from the pop charts - although some artists remained bright. There are some bands, such as the Rolling Stones and the Faces, who always adhere to the most basic rules of traditional rock, but they make the music faster and freer. Other bands, such as proto-punks the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, and the Stooges, retained the basic structure of their music but took on a more menacing element to their act. There were also some artists who became rock traditionalists, such as Dave Edmunds and Graham Parker, who wrote songs and produced records that never strayed from the rock and roll model of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although the term rock has come to refer to more and more different styles of music in the decades since its emergence, the essence of the music has never changed. Starry Sky Territory J&}&jJ^+Y

Some people called this the first British invasion. Fortunately, there were still some groups in the United States that competed with them at that time, such as groups similar to The Beatles.

The Seattle sound grunge rock that led the rock trend in the early 1990s was soon replaced by British electronic music. Inundated by rock music, these bands from all over the UK quickly conquered a new generation of rock fans, so it was called the second British Invasion. In addition, some alternative rock with punk style or full of electronic music in the late 1990s. It has won quite a few fans. Maybe the rock trend is no longer there.

Another continuation of the rock genre.
