…more than just a music

A people, a scene, a culture, and a circuit through which information and ideas travel… Politics & DIY Anarchy Genres - Movements Music Social Meaning History Fashion/Style

POLITICS

Punk Rock Politics vary or deviate, but nearly ALL stress the ideas of… ACTIVISM – involvement in the government, it makes NO sense to whine about the government when you take no part in it. DIY – or better known as Do It Yourself. “Some kids start a band, others start a zine…”- Anti-Flag. DIY withholds the idea that we are capable of producing our own items without the use of systems, specialists, etc. DIY is how bands get started. UNITY – all work together to a greater ends. “Unity, as one stand together”- Operation Ivy.

911 For Peace by Justin Sane, Performed by Anti-Flag

*Excerpts from "I Have a Dream" by Dr. Martin Luther King*

It's in the paper every day You see it in the headlines and you feel so sick

As another life leaves this world, This world so full of hate but short, Short on compassion, short on humanity. Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock do we even have a chance?

Chorus I don't want to die I don't want to kill We are all human It's time to prove it

This is a plea for peace (world peace) To the oppressors of the world (and to…) To the leaders of nations, Corporate profit takers, To the every day citizen Greed, envy, fear, hate- the competition has to stop! When you see someone down - now is the time to pick `em up Set our difference aside and never look back!

*Repeat Chorus*

Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? Killing? Dying? Hatred? Violence?

Politics: Anarchism

“…create a society run and controlled by those who actually produce the wealth of the world. We believe that it is possible to live without government and to put in its place councils and assemblies where the "ordinary people" can decide what happens to this wealth. We believe in the equality of all and that maximum solidarity is needed between workers and other oppressed groups if we are to defeat those who live off our sweat. Anarchists are against chaos…”-Workers Solidarity Movement.

Anarchy isn't Chaos

Directly Democratic - Egalitarian Society

"If it were proved to me that in making war, my ideal had a chance of being realized, I would still say "No" to war. For one does not create human society on mounds of corpses." --- Louis Lecoin, Anarchist.

“A Strong People do not need a strong Government”-Darren Kramer, Impact Press

Anarchism people voluntarily cooperate to meet everyone's needs Free agreements between groups to satisfy needs and aspirations without bosses or rulers – no government, law, authority. without sacrificing individual liberties. Anarchists are opposed to chaos.

Mosh Pit

Collection of artists who practice the art of slam dancing

ZINES

Underground sources of media – information, ideas, and knowledge are spread. Can be in form of newspapers, pamphlets, leaflets, flyers, or whatever the imagination can construe.

Shortened from magazine Contain art work, opinions, articles, reviews, cartoons, etc. Are usually very entertaining.

Music Videos

Song: AUTOMATIC “This was our first video we ever did and pretty much is just equal parts of two shows. The first was a free show we put on in downtown Gainesville for the release of Losing Streak. The second was for a cable show outta Chicago called JBTV. Check out the guy in the Winnie the Pooh costume, and I think the only "train spanking" on video, weird.”- LTJ

Punk bands create music videos for fun and to get their music out Little to no restrictions are placed on music videos. Some may be edited or altered for television viewing. MTV finds a majority of the most recent favorite punk bands’ videos and airs them. Some bands do not allow this.

Social Meaning

It's about the MUSIC, not the Money.

Punk As a Label: “You can listen to anything but don’t label anything with spiked hair, punk, and don’t label anything with a break down, hardcore, because it’s not. No matter how the mainstream sees it, it will always be more. It will always be something they can not touch because it lives in our hearts and not in our wallets.”– Ryan, Punks Before Profits

Don’t let them buy you, they cant sell you your own style. Punk is about individuality, not buying a pyramid belt, pair of dickies, and chuck taylors to become ‘punk’. If that made you punk, then anyone and everyone could be ‘punk’…

Social Meaning

Mainly for the unheard

Express yourself

Create and develop as a person

Gender, Age, Race, Sexuality

DIY – no specialists or systems

The Punk Stereotype

Loudly aggressive, disrespectful, and violent. Individual struggle for attention “you only look/act like that because you need attention.” Do not think before act, self-absorbed – do not think of others before acting. like to break things, destroy Support and believe in chaos

No TRUE punks fit this stereotype.

Jock core

“Punk ain't no religious cult, Punk means thinking for yourself. You ain't hardcore cause you spike your hair when a jock still lives inside your head!” – The Dead Kennedys

A Perpetually boring History of Punk Rock

The New York Dolls (Mercury, 1973) “Coated in lipstick and powder, looking like drag queens after a particularly hard night out…”

The Ramones “It’s Alive” 1973. Part of The Velvet Underground and CBGBs bands.

The Sex Pistols, started in the UK. Some believe began the “punk” movement.

“Unlike any other musical genre, Punk rock was started as a deliberate

reaction to the mass commercialism of music. In the year 2000, it's common to see someone "being A punk," rather than seeing someone "be punk.“ In the late 60's and early 70's, the music industry rang eerily familiar in its method of promoting trends over music. The public was being spoon-fed music that corporations simply intended to make a profit from. The backlash to this came to be known internationally as Punk rock. In New York, around the early 1970's, young, virtually unknown artists like Patti Smith, the Velvet Underground, and the Dolls of New York, changed later to New York Dolls, brought about a new style of "alternative-bohemian“ entertainment, rooted in a "do-it-yourself" attitude. Short, frenetic songs, aggressive, sometimes confrontational stage presence, and angry messages against consumerism hit the stages at venues like New York's CBGB's, starting the movement that would be known as punk rock. Most importantly of all, punk's legacy lies in its introduction of self- employment and activism. It illustrated that anyone can do it themselves, without reliance on the commercial media or the luxury of having financial abundance. Against the backdrop of mass consumer conformity, the punk rock movement made a statement of individuality that was heard worldwide.” – By Charles Oh

HAIRSTYLE: The Mohawk

The haircut synonymous with punk rock. It has had a long and varied history, moving from its origin as a ceremonial hairstyle for the Native American Iroquois tribe of Mohawk.

It also stands as a symbol of defiance against oppression and in support of the natives. (Native Americans or what some of you people call “Indians”.)

Originally, it represented an awareness and anger towards the existence of povety (and desire for change) by punk rockers.

STYLE

More Punk Rock

Punk Rockers are notorious for their style. Many continue traditional styles seen in earlier days, others try to develop their own look, some choose not to make a spectacle of themselves with odd and crazy styles, and still others choose the simplicity of band t-shirts and pants.

Some choose to sport vintage looks, and many choose to shop at thrift stores (such as the Salvation Army), purchasing clothes at a reasonable price while not contributing to the profits of growing corporations.
