From its explosive beginning in the seventies to its present-day variations, we’ll explore each decade’s punk subculture and the impact it had on music and fashion.

The 70s: Classic Punk – This was the era when punk rock truly exploded onto the scene with bands like The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and The Clash making a huge impact on music and fashion. DIY fashion, ripped clothing, and piercing glare of rebellion defined this time.

The 80s: Post-Punk & Beyond – As punk’s foundation solidified, subgenres emerged. Post-punk, known for darker, moody tunes was championed by bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, and The Cure. The 80s also saw the birth of skate punk, hardcore, and new wave.

The 90s: Cyberpunk & More Fusion – As technology took a leap, cyberpunk emerged. Focused on combining punk values with futuristic themes and digital worlds, authors like William Gibson and movies like Blade Runner became cultural icons. Punk continued to fuse with other genres, creating ska punk and pop punk, introducing bands like No Doubt and Blink-182 to the scene.

The 2000s & Beyond: A Musical Melting Pot – Punk has since continued to evolve and differentiate, constantly smashing cultural boundaries and bringing new life to the movement. From emo and screamo to the emergence of ‘heyday punk,’ – the spirit of punk lives on in ever-changing styles.

Each punk era has made its mark in history, empowering generations to dare to be different and confront conformity.
