Welcome, Punks!


This blog will explore the formation of one of music's most influential subcultures; Punk.

By examining two peer-reviewed articles and two book chapters over the coming weeks, 'What Are You Looking At, Punk?' will assess existing research relating to the fundamental principles of punk ideology, as rebellion towards authority and conformity inadvertently established one of the most prominent classifications in music culture. This blog will align these texts with other cultural studies, media studies and popular music research, while evaluating their effectiveness in clarifying and investigating punk subculture in a wider historical context.
