Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Ramones, Richard Hell, Métal Urbain, but also Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, The Exploited, The Pogues, LSD, Oberkampf, The Offspring, NOFX, Green Day, Stupeflip – punk isn’t limited to just the first wave. It’s even happily approaching its 40th anniversary.
And even though one of its battle cries was “No Future!”, it’s clear that today it still endures, and not just on T-shirts or in nostalgic retrospectives.
The punk spirit is so deeply ingrained in our culture that it has become a commonly used adjective, because it forever embodies the desire to rebel against the established order, and because this independent spirit inevitably inspires others.
Whether in fashion, literature or even when discussing cuisine or politics, the adjective ‘punk’ signifies iconoclastic, rebellious and independent – and therefore strong-willed.
Richly illustrated with over 360 photographs and documents, this ‘bible’ sets out to summarise this musical movement, which has become a cultural benchmark, by tracing the history of many of its leading bands, as well as through a number of explanatory entries on the art of fanzines, comic books and fashion.
