Punk is defined as a loud, fast pace, and aggressive type of rock audio that is common in the 70’s and 80’s. New punk releases have great influence like their father, the punk rock.

As the mainstream caught on to its popularity, pop-tradition diluted the anarchic, angry, rage into a far more worthwhile and contrived revolution. Punk bands wore the correct clothes, made the right
