Punk rock
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Punk rock is a popular music genre related to rock music.
Punk gained mainstream success in 1976-1977 featuring bands like Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Damned, Generation X, The Jam, the Ramones, and Sex Pistols. It also got some of these bands popular. Many punks do not want to become popular and purposefully play music that will not become popular. Many punks are very political and rebellious. Almost all punks are leftists, and some are even anarchists. But there are notable bands such as Murphy's Law, and Anti Heros who are outspoken conservative Liberatarians and Republicans.
