内容简介

Although its origins and definition are hotly debated among scholars and fans alike, punk rock music has an ever-evolving, but always loyal fan base. The British punk movement is thought to have begun in the early 1970s with bands, such as the Clash and the Sex Pistols, and the American punk movement in the mid-1970s with acts, such as the Ramones, Patti Smith, and Television. The punk subculture continues to evolve today, with new bands, fashions, and politics embodying the spirit of its founders while also influencing mainstream culture. This inclusive encyclopedia chronicles the history and development of punk, including sub-movements, such as Hardcore, Post-punk, Queercore, and Emo, to provide readers with an extensive overview of the music, fashion, films, and philosophies behind it. Entries for musicians include a discography for those wanting to start, or develop, their music collections.
