Punk Rock Music And Culture
Jul 7th, 2010 by Jim
Punk rock culture today has slid back from what punk rock history embodied. Figures from the history of punk rock would look down upon modern punk rock’s poseur and sell-out mentality. Today, punk really is more about green hair than nonconformity, and being punk is almost like conformity in itself. Punk is mainstream-punk rock fashion is distributed commercially at chain stores like Hot Topic, punk rock music is played on mainstream alternative radio stations, Kurt Cobain is programmed into Guitar Hero as an avatar. Punk is now a fad as if being anti-establishment is cool, and when everyone tries to be different they all become the same again.
