What Makes Punk, Punk? A Retrospective

(Author’s Note: This retrospective focuses primarily on the Punk scene in the US. Countries like Japan, Italy and England also had their own influential and important Punk scenes. To discuss that would add even more to this already bulky essay.)

(Disclaimer: Punk is a heavily political genre of music and ideology, and as such, politics will be mentioned a bit. I will try to stay neutral, but show how the Punk community overall reacted).
