A subgenre of music that sprang forth from the bowels of two separate continents simultaneously just a tad before 1976 A.D . One, being Kings Road in London, England where shocking and loud fashion also tried sending a message to the Monarchy and Parliament that the youth of that era was not going to sit there quietly and obey. The second location of importance was The Bowery in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Setting themselves apart from their contemporaries across the pond, they gave not one shit about a message to the US Government. They were art students, drug addicts, groupies and weirdos.
Holy shit! Did you see the Mohawk that Punk has? It's at least a foot and a half high!
