Punk Rock 70s
Music
Punk rock, which erupted in the late 1970s, was a powerful cultural movement characterized by an exuberant spirit of rebellion and nonconformism.
It emerged as a response to the social and political controversies of the time, warning society against losing its individuality in mass commercialization.
The main features of this era included a specific ideology, aggressive and energetic music, protest lyrics, style of dress, and a desire for freedom and self-expression.
At the same time, many garage bands of the 1960s were already proto-punk. Among them, for example, were the American band The Stooges led by Iggy Pop and the "godmother of the punk movement" Patti Smith.
The fathers of the genre were the New York Ramones and the London Sex Pistols. They were among the first to be called punks.

In the beginning, the cheap punk image, assembled from the first thing that came to hand, was put in contrast to the expensive suits of respectable people striving for success, the development of capitalism and the creation of a consumer society.
Punks expressed their views through their appearance and behavior. For this reason, a very specific aesthetic developed.
