Punk rock was a phenomenon that started in the mid 1970s and is
still with us today. More than just a musical genre, it developed
in to a full sub-culture. A subculture that had its own fashion,
literature, art, social values and moral codes. Punk was a direct
reaction to a hegemonic post-war society that had left its working
class youth feeling disillusioned. It is argued that the philosophy
of punk is just as relevant today, with record youth unemployment
and opportunities denied to working class young people. This book
discovers the origins of Punk as a social movement, and the impact
it had on society. It also looks at what certain academics have
written on the subject which include articles on feminism, racism
and political debate, as well as issues about sexuality, drug abuse
and violence. The book also features real people who were actually
there at the time, in an attempt to get a picture of what it was
really like to be part of the movement, which is in stark contrast
to how the media represented it. A must for students studying
sociology with an emphasis on youth culture, moral panics,
folk-devils and marginalization
