Punk Rock was born and developed between 1969 and 1976 in America, England and Australia "Punk Rock" was originally used to describe the garage musicians'
The First punk rock bands to exsits were bands like 'the sonics' who began to experiment by playing music with no musical or vocal instruction, breaking the rules of music.
In the late 60's bands such as 'The stooges' and 'The MC5' emerged and were descibed as raw, crude and often political, this is what made them unique to anyother genre
The velvet underground, managed by Andy warhol were the next to experiment with sound, creating music that expanded the definitions of music.
New york played a big part to this genre as it hosted the first Punk Rock scene. Bands like 'The Ramones' and 'Talking heads' found fame and played here regularly at famous CBGB club. All these moments in history are what shaped the Punk Rock genre we know today, as modern day artists take influence from these bands.
To the present day Punk Rock:
Punk rock has expanded from a music genre to a way of life, from cults to fashion such as tartan and crazy hairstyles.
Modern day Punk Rock bands such as 'Green day', 'Blink 182' and 'My Chemical Romance' all reflect Punk in the past as they continue to push the boundries of music.
