The reason I chose this topic is that punk rock happens to be my favorite form of music. I also believe it's influenced our modern culture more than most people realize.
Punk Rock is a form of music that developed in the mid 1970's. Punk came about after the 60's peace and love movement. Many felt that music at the time had taking rock n roll and changed into something that it wasn't, with flashy guitar solos and more emphasis on fashion than the music. Many then took up a do it yourself attitude and started their own bands as a result. Many of these bands consisted of people who had no musical experience or were just mediocre musicians. No one knew at the time that these bands would change the landscape of music and culture. Due to the advent of punk many things came about, the rise of independent record labels. Many other things came out of the rise and fall of punk that we see in our culture on a daily basis. In this fantastic blog I will touch on quite a few of those things.
