For more than three decades, a punk underground has repeatedly
insisted that 'anyone can do it'. This underground punk movement
has evolved via several micro-traditions, each offering distinct
and novel presentations of what punk is, isn't, or should be.
Underlying all these punk micro-traditions is a politics of
empowerment that claims to be anarchistic in character, in the
sense that it is contingent upon a spontaneous will to liberty
(anyone can do it - in theory). How valid, though, is punk's faith
in anarchistic empowerment? Exploring theories from Derrida and
Marx, Anyone Can Do It: Empowerment, Tradition and the Punk
Underground examines the cultural history and politics of punk. In
its political resistance, punk bears an ideological relationship to
the folk movement, but punk's faith in novelty and spontaneous
liberty distinguish it from folk: where punk's traditions, from the
1970s onwards, have tended to search for an anarchistic
'new-sense', folk singers have more often been socialist/Marxist
traditionalists, especially during the 1950s and 60s. Detailed case
studies show the continuities and differences between four
micro-traditions of punk: anarcho-punk, cutie/'C86', riot grrrl and
math rock, thus surveying UK and US punk-related scenes of the
1980s, 1990s and beyond.
