The 60S: The Birth • In the late sixties band such as: The Stooges, MC5, and the Velvet Underground, and the Sonics gave birth to what would later be deemed punk rock. • These bands broke free from the conventional sounds of rock and experimented with a raw, violent, crude, noisy, and aggressive sound. • This unconvential sound would grow and influence the birth of punk rock. It would also spawn off to influence the youth culture of the next thirty years.
The TROUBLED 70S • New York in the early seventies was a city heading towards bankruptcy. Industrially the city wasn’t growing, and economically it was in a state of stagnation.

TROUBLED 70S CONTINUED: Across the pond • Inflation in the 70s was a huge problem. Everyone talked about the cost of living. A series of strikes lead to power cuts and the Three Day Week.
God Save the queen, there’s a blitzkrieg bopping her way • In the 1970s, especially in the U.K, punk music became a political act, a cure for working class boredom—a spark of courage and camaraderie for a generation out of work, disenfranchised, and angry. • A generation that didn’t care about the Beatles. • The Ramones and Sex Pistols strip things down

Punk Goes underground: Can’t live your life by lyrics • Punk Rock bled into 80s America underground scene • American Hardcore: At the end of the 1979, punk rock shrunk away from the limelight, jumped across the ocean, and dug itself deep underground in the sands of San Francisco. • Black Flag, Circle Jerks, The Dead Kennedys
The sound was quicker, angrier and violent. It was music for the youth, by the youth. It was music with a harder political violence—it poked fun at the system and questioned all values—it became less about economical strife and more about how to survive in a world and country of lying and corrupt politicians • American punks of the 80s were kids wanting to express not only their rage but their confusion. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yJIdLFzatw
