When it began, punk was an underground revolution that raged
against the mainstream; now punk "is" the mainstream. Tracing the
origins of Grammy-winning icons Green Day and the triumphant
resurgence of neo-punk legends Bad Religion through MTV's embrace
of pop-punk bands like Yellowcard, music journalist Matt Diehl
explores the history of new punk, exposing how this once cult sound
became a blockbuster commercial phenomenon. Diehl follows the
history and controversy behind neo-punk--from the Offspring's move
from a respected indie label to a major, to multi-platinum bands
Good Charlotte and Simple Plan's unrepentant commercial success,
through the survival of genre iconoclasts the Distillers and the
rise of "emo" superstars like Fall Out Boy.
" My So-Called Punk "picks up where bestselling authors Legs McNeil
and Jon Savage left off, conveying how punk went from the Sex
Pistol's "Anarchy in the U.K." to anarchy in the O.C. via the
Warped Tour. Defining the sound of today's punk, telling the
stories behind the bands that have brought it to the masses and
discussing the volatile tension between the culture's old and new
factions, "My So-Called Punk "is the go-to book for a new
generation of punk rock fans.
