The History of Punk Rock - The Legacy That Never DiedPunk rock is far more than just a genre—it’s a movement, an act of rebellion, and a philosophy that runs through our veins. Emerging in the early 70s with raw, experimental sounds influenced by trailblazers like Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The MC5, and The New York Dolls, punk really found its voice in 1975 on the gritty streets of New York, at CBGBs. Here, icons like The Ramones, The Dictators, Patti Smith, and Blondie set the stage for the fire that would burn through generations.

We’ll explore how bands like Talking Heads, Television, and The Dead Boys pushed punk’s energy, while the genre’s evolution mirrored social unrest, political turmoil, and the growing commercialization of music. During this time, the CBGB scene had a major influence on U.K. bands like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, and The Damned, who would soon spread punk’s rebellious spirit to the world. From the rise of hardcore punk, with bands like Black Flag leading the charge, to the impact of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, punk became the voice of a generation’s disillusionment. This video covers how punk went from an underground phenomenon to a global force. As the 80s continued, hardcore exploded, and while the mainstream tried to co-opt the culture, the underground remained the heart of punk, evolving with bands like Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and Descendents keeping the rebellious flame alive. Punk isn’t just music—it’s an attitude. It’s the belief that we can create something from nothing, defy the status quo, and speak our truth when no one else will. In
