PUNK

In the neighborhoods of the nebulous and damp English cities of the seventies, the punk began when the rock was a expression for the young people, with denounced and rebellion, to become more a product of the great labels.

Perhaps another booster was the economic and political crisis that lived then England, and that added to the disenchantment of young people by the lack of opportunities and rising unemployment, opened the gap to a movement that served as a cry of protest and that he found in the Attitudes rebels and anarchists escape from reality and the meaning of life. Thus, the punk emerges as a way to release the discontent.

There are two versions of the origin of the term: one that asserts that the name was given by the English press in a manner derogatory to refer to these groups of young people questioned, and protesters were demonstrating against the company and laid down.

And another that arose when Legs McNeil and John Holmstrom in the United States created a magazine to talk about ideas, music and the excesses of youth, who called Punk. Either way, the term became popular and not only gave his name to a new musical genre but a wealth of ideas and beliefs that were disseminated rapidly in the United States and Europe.
