punk rock

So I was recently listening to some punk rock and I thought it would be interseting to base a post all on punk music. So for people who dont listen to punk rock, what is it ?
Well it was developed between 1974 to 1976 in Australia, United States and United Kingdom.
Punk rock is fast, hard-edged music and is often political with anti- establishment lyrics.
Bands such as the Clash, Sex pistols and the Ramones were known as being the leader of this new music movement. Following this genre of music came a punk subculture, which expressed youth rebllion. Here is a picture of the style that emerged.

Very common elements in punk fasion are, tattoo's, piercings and metal studded and spiked acessories.
The mohawk was a very popular hair style during that era, and fan's who were very hardcore into it addoped a type of skin head look.
Punk concerts are typical to have " moshing". Moshing is when the audience pushes and shoves into eachother for there entertainment. Stage diving was also common during punk concerts.
Here are a list of some known punk bands, Beastie Boys, Blink 182,  mayday parade,  Nirvana,sum 41 and sublime. Here is a video of a mosh pit( moshing).
