Comment The purpose is to be alternative by rebeling (Score 1) 474
To understand punk you must understand that punk was born out of a rebellion against, the easy sounds of the Eagles, Disco, and Glam-rock. The "working class" needed to express their anger through a musical style.
Punk has always been rebelious. If you look at its history, it has sided against a lot of rather heavy political topics.
The great think about punk is that it's something different in every scene, and it's ability to transform to something new to rebel against popular culture.
Unlike the "Alternative" music of the 90s that was quickly adopted, and ruined, by corporate media, true punk (not this blink 182 shite) after 25 years still remains elusive enough to be considered the true alternative.
