The History of Punk Rock: The Legacy That Never Died

Описание: Punk rock isn’t just a genre—it’s a movement, a rebellion, a philosophy etched in our DNA. It started as raw, experimental sounds in the early 70s, influenced by artists like Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The MC5, and The New York Dolls. But it wasn’t until 1975, in the gritty streets of New York, that punk rock found its true home at CBGBs. Here, icons like The Ramones, The Dictators, Patti Smith, and Blondie ignited the fire that would burn through the decades.

This video dives deep into the legendary CBGBs scene, exploring the pioneers who defined punk rock and the transition from the 70s DIY spirit to the rage-fueled hardcore of the 80s. We’ll cover how bands like Talking Heads, Television, and The Dead Boys, shaped punk’s raw energy and how the genre evolved in response to social unrest, political chaos, and the commercialization of music. Around this time the CBGB scene greatly influenced U.K. bands that would go on to take punk to the world like never before. Bands like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks and The Damned.

From the explosive rise of hardcore punk with Black Flag leading the charge and the impact of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, to the worldwide spread of punk’s angry, rebellious message, this is the story of how punk went from a small, underground scene to a global phenomenon. The anger, frustration, and nihilism that fueled the early punk movement exploded into hardcore, making it the soundtrack to a generation’s disillusionment. But as the 80s wore on, the underground would reclaim its power, evolving in countless forms but always staying true to its rebellious roots, with bands like Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Descendants and more.

Punk is more than music—it’s an attitude. A belief that we can create something from nothing, reject the status quo, and speak the truth when no one else will. In a world where so much changes, the spirit of punk remains timeless. Watch and relive the untold history that started it all.
