About this listen

The podcast explores the origins and evolution of punk rock, tracing its roots to the UK and New York in the early 1970s. Punk, characterized by its rebellious spirit, DIY ethos, and distinctive sound, was a reaction against the sophistication of mainstream music. The genre’s influence extended beyond music, impacting fashion, art, and culture, and many punk bands evolved into more mainstream styles over time.

Punk music, with its rebellious attitude and staccato sound, has seen a resurgence due to societal pressures and the influence of social media. While some bands, like Amyl and the Sniffers, embody punk through their lyrics and image, others, like Green Day, are considered more commercial. The enduring relevance of punk is evident in its ability to resonate with young people seeking to express their angst and individuality.
