Punk rock
The musical genre that is punk rock has such a long and misunderstood background, from its loud sound, to its rebel lyrics to its “do whatever the fuck you want because you can” attitude. Punk rock has really come into a world of its own in the way that people connect with it. Over the year’s music in general has evolved and the ideology that is punk rock has evolved with it. Punk rock to most would be described as a life style, a form of breaking the status quo. This life style believed to have started somewhere during the late 60s but was never fully developed and labeled, up until certain bands really took scene during this movement for example the Ramones, television, black flag, sex pistol and so many more. The fact that the idea behind punk rock, the life style, has been around even up to this day shows the evolution that it’s made to be where it is now with bands like pennywise, blink 182. The question here is what is punk rock? And how has it evolved. What is the style of punk rock in regards to life style, appearances, and musical style in different time periods? The New York dolls are a rock and roll band that formed in 1972, they are what’s considered proto punk, before punk rock came to be, before it had a name or a following. None the less they are a major reason for the foundation of punk rock. All though they were formed …show more content…
The way that each band for each time period expressed their anger, passion and rage through their wardrobe or their music, even their life style shows how far punk rock has really come. From the bold statements that the new York dolls expressed in their wardrobe to the revolutionary musical aspect that television brought to the table all the way to a more modern band like pennywise which still lives to fulfill the original ideology that is punk rock. I will do whatever I want whenever I want because I
