'No Feelings', 'No Fun', 'No Future'. The years 1976-84 saw punk
emerge and evolve as a fashion, a musical form, an attitude and an
aesthetic. Against a backdrop of social fragmentation, violence,
high unemployment and socio-economic change, punk rejuvenated and
re-energised British youth culture, inserting marginal voices and
political ideas into pop. Fanzines and independent labels
flourished; an emphasis on doing it yourself enabled provincial
scenes to form beyond London's media glare. This was the period of
Rock Against Racism and benefit gigs for the Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament and the striking miners. Matthew Worley charts the full
spectrum of punk's cultural development from the Sex Pistols,
Buzzcocks and Slits through the post-punk of Joy Division, the
industrial culture of Throbbing Gristle and onto the 1980s diaspora
of anarcho-punk, Oi! and goth. He recaptures punk's anarchic force
as a medium through which the frustrated and the disaffected could
reject, revolt and re-invent.
