What is punk?

what is punk? (Note: Punk here is by no means a general term. )

Punk is a form of music and a culture, so it's better to regard it as a revolution to the current living conditions. Rock music has experienced a prosperous period of existence and nothingness. In the era of relying on Platonic ideals and drugs to survive, people lived too depressed and Mu Na. With a large number of top bands playing high and low music, the younger generation finds that there is no music suitable for them, and at the same time, anger and emptiness are growing day by day. In the 197s, punk music spread all over the British Isles and America. You can hear the cries of cynicism almost everywhere. It was not until the late 197s that the punk craze passed. In 198s, heavy metal replaced punk and became the dominant music in this period. And punk is still accumulating strength underground, waiting for a complete outbreak. In the 199s, the Grunge volcano finally erupted in America, and several bands became the idols of the public overnight. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. A gunshot in Kint Cobain's apartment ended the life of a generation of great Grunge men and the glory of a Grunge era. At this time, the "punk revival" movement also rose in England on the other side of the ocean, and a group of new generation bands divided the declining punk market.

The revolutionary feature of punk is that it will never give in to anything around it, although most of the time, the opposite is always so powerful.

Punk's uncompromising performance in music is at odds with business. Since the business world entered the art world, vulgarity and popularity have flooded the art world. Trying to use art to gild himself, and put the art label on the container. The entry of business has never provided the slightest help for the development of punk, but has killed many talented musicians. When the Grunge volcano erupted in the United States, Kint Cobain climbed to the top with a "Never MIND". In fact, the album that sold the most was not very good, and he lost his way in the face of fans' madness about people and music. After a period of thinking, I finally released the famous punk "In Utero", and the fate of this album is to applaud and not be a hit. In the face of the music that I love, the ruined ones will not have so many underground bands like punk. Punk abandoned by the market is still burning with anger. At this time, business and punk reality, Cobain chose to leave this cursed world many times. A punk genius died under the pressure of business. Business is at a loss about punk, a thorny rose. In addition, punk has gradually become a chicken rib in the market, and the final result is that business is quietly away from punk. There is almost no communication between any music. The appearance of indie music foretells the appearance of a brand-new punk road. Do it yourself has become the album mode of many punk bands. There is our hope in the underground, there is a real world in the underground, and punk has stepped into the new Millennium in the underground.

Punk never gave in to the reality from the day it came into being. It is precisely because of the social oppression that most Kele people were born at the bottom of the society. Since childhood, they have deeply felt the darkness, poverty and violence at the bottom, and left irreparable wounds in their hearts. They tried to destroy the whole disappointing reality with music, subvert many existing habits, disciplines and rules, break the shackles of old traditions, find a truly free nature, and find a group of people to become the creators of punk. There are too many injustices in this world, and the ugliness has rusted and moldy rules and regulations, which often make us have to accept it willingly. In the process of acceptance again and again, the light of life is covered by secular clouds, the armor of conscience is corroded by hypocritical filth, and the only hope is crushed by ruthless reality. Day after day, month after month, year after year, after countless mechanical repetitions, we are forced to leave this world. However, punk makes us dare to fight with people, with the sky, and subvert everything that binds human nature, put aside the secular and gain human freedom. "Real warriors dare to face a bleak life", and the price they may pay for it is not only reputation, time, even future and life, but also punk's mockery of contemporary civilization and denial and destruction of all established things. This is not the amazing power of punk to destroy everything. Authority is just a big joke to punk. Punk never needs authority, the affirmation of mainstream culture, and the praise of several famous people. Friends find a clean space so that they can live and die truly. I'm glad to see that many bands are struggling hard because of this. Some bands can't hear their works because of well-known reasons. One day, when their works appear in front of us, it may be the voice that we punk have been waiting for for a long time.

The development of punk seems to have entered a dead end. The music of many bands can be said to be dirty, chaotic, poor, fuzzy sound and indistinguishable instrumental music, just like a pot of inedible pig food. There are also a few idle punks who buy some different kinds of clothes from fashion shops, are covered with messy metal parts, and are full of swearing words to see who is not pleasing to the eye. They suddenly pick up the guitar and call it "we are punk" in a serious way. In fact, many of us also agree with this distinction standard, and such "punk revival" can only bring punk extinction. Punk needs rebellion, but it is not frivolous. If it's just to show their avant-garde and flaunt their own otherness, punk asks these people to get out of here. An in-depth analysis of punk shows the deepest essence of punk soul, which is a clean and bleeding conscience. Let punk return to long-lost sincerity and conscience!

As long as injustice, darkness and ugliness exist in the world, punk will never stop fighting. When all the fake, evil and ugly rubbish is buried, punk will be as far away from the world as a lonely master. If punk dies, the premise is that punk must first destroy the darkness. Punk is angry and sober. It wants to shake people's conscience and sleeping thoughts, induce people to spurn vulgar business culture and re-examine ethics and moral humanity. Maybe this is the responsibility of punk.

Never compromise for punk, and give your blood for punk. Long live punk! Long live punk lovers!

Punk is just a musical vocabulary, but it is always presented with a profound social phenomenology attitude, showing a critical spirit of duty to look back, face reality and never be discouraged. The concept annotation of the latter is my understanding and experience of punk thought. Punk is the only way of thinking and the only cultural means that truly belongs to the general public regardless of boundaries, boundaries, knowledge levels, categories and methods. It is an uncompromising critical attitude against elite culture, eliminating the false and retaining the real, and opposing ideology.

Today, however, the punk in China just languishes in the thin Popular Songs magazine whose cover is full of fancy computer design, and it has been sublimated into the fashionable Friends of Guitar! Punk is the noise of adolescence? Punk is an exaggeration? Punk is fierce provocation? Punk is about hitting a big movie? Punk is just a chiba that is about to be thanked in China music scene? Punks don't talk about technology? Punk is fashion? -lies, all lies! This is the most vicious and insidious false accusation made by the so-called music elites, cultural gangs and media leaders who have knowledge and no culture. This is their strategy. The only pronunciation tube of the general public was so instantly and reasonably deprived by them.

Singers and fans, please don't forget the people around you, the poor and helpless, the desperate and the silent majority! In China, there are countless unknown people at the bottom who are fighting to the death with enemies in every corner of society and life at this moment. They are selling their own blood and souls in exchange for a moment's respite. Did you get a look at him? In the dark night, there will always be a faint, red eye flashing: did you hear it? With the calm breathing coming from the depths of darkness, they won't go to bars and discos to listen to music and dance, but they will be angry, shout and take revenge! They include all the people with conscience and consciousness, including workers, peasants, students, citizens, teachers, soldiers, police, civil servants, self-employed, all the laid-off middle-aged and unemployed young people, all the insulted and ravaged women, and all the desperate and helpless ghost people waiting for the cry of discipline and punishment

. They are all over the backcountry of urban and rural areas, streets and alleys, inside and outside walls, and any messy corner can become a street fortress. During the day, they work hard for this society in order to solve three meals a day. Night came, his (her) bloodshot eyes were full of hatred, and the word "revenge" was deeply engraved on their insulted faces. They personally defend the flag of China's popular punk, which will never stand, fly over this rotten and desperate city forever, and always look down on all abstract and concrete enemies and accomplices. They can't be replaced by baseball caps, skateboard pants, sandals, metal bracelets, Latin beards, tight T-shirts and blond hair. They will always be just a pair of walking shoes that can cross mountains and rivers. Punk culture in China is facing unprecedented difficulties and misunderstandings. Time and time again, fashion waves, collective shows, and media lackeys have played in their hands again and again. Because of these strong rivals, China's popular punk has been jealous and jumped from all directions. "Chinese punk is finished, Chinese punk is hopeless." Yes, that's right. Compared with those musicians who sing monkey shows and juggle, punk is just a coat to show off their ignorance and youth, and it's just a box of accompaniment to accompany them in coquettish dancing. They know nothing about punk. They only know how to use the people and kill themselves. They are enemies of the people and the general public. It is this kind of bored voice that reminds us that the punk culture in China is not only a flash in the pan, but also shows no signs of success for at least a long time. It is always immersed in the long night and does not emit a glimmer of light. It is precisely because of this that the real punk will endure extremely cruel exercise and will develop an indelible fighting spirit and extremely tenacious fighting capacity. At the same time, it also makes us tear open a ferocious mask of human beings. Yes, there are always more cunning and stronger opponents, which will stimulate our fighting enthusiasm more.

It's useless to talk about it. Punk is a constant struggle. As can be seen from the fashion tide all over the street, the literary and art elites have used the mass media to carry out extremely arbitrary propaganda, which makes the revolutionary mass punk not allow a little waiting. Popular punk culture should immediately start practical work. This huge and arduous movement should start from here, and all problems should gradually approach its solution from here. Therefore, I hereby call on all young people with consciousness and conscience to fulfill our obligations and responsibilities with the working attitude of popular punk culture. We should really do it, continue to do it permanently, and don't expect anything from others, because society will bring you more complete despair. Believe that a single spark is enough to start a prairie fire. Start from yourself, start from bit by bit. The pen in your hand is your guitar, the broom in your hand is your bass, your rotten bucket is your drum, your waistband is your microphone, and your thoughts are your style. Punk doesn't distinguish between modes, the means are diverse, and the purpose is the same. My guitar is my woodcut knife, and I write my punk thoughts with a knife every day. I want to compete with all the guys who call themselves punk, and fight to the death with all the pseudo artists, the shadows in the circle, the media experts, and the literary slaves who sell dog meat. The battlefield is on the street, in society, and in this protracted tug-of-war, we.

in view of the current situation, I am gearing up and preparing for the war actively. I want to be a punk with the most common appearance, and my clothes are simple, neat and generous, which is subject to looseness. Work and rest on time every day, read books and newspapers on time, know all the information, and then work hard. Don't take part in group activities, but in nightlife, don't form gangs, don't drink, don't smoke, don't go whoring, don't gamble, don't have romantic affairs, don't be arrogant and don't sell yourself short, be modest and friendly to people, always be alert to the enemy, and be ready to kill the enemy at any time. Actively unite and strive for all the people, severely crack down on the middle elements, and guard against those who shot you in the back.

I don't do music. I do it in my own way. I have a formal job, but it has no interference or influence on my thoughts. On the contrary, I love my work more, treat my colleagues better and defend my thoughts more. I believe that practicing strong control will condense stronger combat effectiveness. Break the limitations and constraints of the so-called means and methods. As long as the punk heart lasts forever, you should stand up on the spot and fight. I am afraid that I will fail in the end, that I am afraid that others will say that you are behind, that I am afraid that there are only a few old guns left, that I am afraid that the times have changed, and we will still, as always, fight without hesitation.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓123 The word "punk" itself is very annoying. Punk often refers to people who live aimlessly, dirt, waste, garbage, stale and all mediocre and worthless things-even prostitutes. Punk rock is naturally not likable. Musically, punk rock is chaotic, disorderly, rough and primitive. It is aimed at denying rock music. It denies and rebelles against everything that rocks. In the eyes of punk rockers, the record industry is a big scam.

The proliferation of commercial music in the 197s (the most obvious example is the rise of disco music) made teenagers feel bored with pop music. The music they want to listen to can't be heard, and the music they don't want to listen to can be heard everywhere; On the other hand, unemployment and economic crisis were the most troublesome problems in Britain in the middle and late 197s, which caused a large number of teenagers to have doubts about the ruling class and dissatisfaction with rock music. Suspicion of capitalism makes it possible for them to vent their dissatisfaction in a way.

in a sense, it was natural that rock music in the 196s was anti-business, anti-capitalism, radical or simply serving the entertainment industry. It opposed old traditions and old values and created a new value concept and lifestyle. However, the punk movement in the 197s only destroyed but did not build. With punk rock becoming a variety on the catalogue of record companies, punk rock has become the target of record companies' speculation. In fact, rock music is like this. A kind of music is the most authentic and original when it is not controlled by business. Once it becomes a commercial lubricant, it becomes a nondescript commodity. Even punk rock with long horns and thorns on its head is the same. In just two or three years, the edges and corners of punk rock have been worn away. Punk rock is only a seasoning in rock music, and punk rock has changed from the original anti-business and anti-popular image.
