The History of Punk Rock

The History of Punk Rock
2
Why it Began

• In the 1960s and 70s, the music industry had
  control over the kind of music the public was
  listening to.
• Bands like The Stooges, The Velvet Underground
  and Patti Smith began to pave the road to a new
  form of music that was made from the politics of
  boredom.

3
A Genre is Born

• In 1975, the Ramones released their debut album,
  The Ramones. The album was simple, original and
  aggressive, giving the Ramones the title
  Creators of Punk Rock

4
England Joins the Rebellion

• The English punk rock scene started in 1977 when
  members of the future bands the The Clash, The
  Sex Pistols and others saw The Ramones play in
  London

5
The Sex Pistols Define Punk

• Through their raw, fast-paced sound and
  fashionable looks, the Sex Pistols defined what
  it was to be punk. Their actions, both on and
  off stage, helped give the genre attitude, as
  songs like God Save the Queen quickly gained
  attention. The band was banned from playing in
  England because of the anti-monarchical lines in
  the song.

Back in the U.S. of A

• In the late 1970s, early 80s, the U.S. punk
  scene gets set in stone as California bands Bad
  Religion, the Dead Kennedys and Social Distortion
  begin their reign

7
Politics and Punk Rock

• The Sex Pistols started down the political road
  with songs like Anarchy in the U.K and God
  Save the Queen. Since then, other punk bands,
  like Bad Religion, Green Day and Social
  Distortion, have joined the bandwagon, using
  their music to promote political and social views
  and ideas

Long Live Johnny Cash

• Bands have evolved over the years from a
  hardcore punk band to a more melodic sounds.
  Some, like the rockabilly punk bands like Social
  Distortion and Tiger Army, owe thanks to the Man
  in Black

The Evolution of Punk

• As the year 2004 closes to an end, punk has
  split into two categories mainstream radio
  (Blink 182, Good Charlotte) and the good old
  fashion underground (The Explosion, Tiger Army).

10
Long Live Punk Rock!

• Some say Punk is dead, that it died in the
  1990s. But as long as bands like the Dead
  Kennedys, the Sex Pistols Social Distortion, Bad
  Religion, The Clash and The Ramones live on in
  the hearts of punk rockers, punk will live on
  forever
