The document discusses what punk is and explores various aspects of punk culture. It touches on punk style which emphasizes DIY fashion using secondhand clothes to rebel against conformity and flaunt wealth. Punk emerged from garage rock and economic recession in the 1970s as a freedom of expression movement that was anti-capitalist in nature. While the author questions if they are truly punk, the document examines punk values of taking ownership, rebellion through clothing, and independence in art.
6. Taking ownership
“I loved the fact that if anyone
wanted to be at the ‘height of
fashion’ [during the Roxy
punk era] they had to dress in
ripped charity shop togs— it
was a great leveler— posh
kids were not able to flaunt
their wealth via their fancy
clothes anymore” (Marko,
2007)
