Summary:
"Infused with a raw and energetic sound that stripped rock 'n' roll to the bone,
punk
rock transformed rock's landscape in the 1970s, deconstructing bloated arena rock and leaving a lasting influence on the music and cultural scene in the United States and overseas.
Punk
was all about extending a middle finger to the status quo while pushing boundaries in uncharted directions. According to
punk
poet laureate Patti Smith, 'To me,
punk
rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to be not successful, freedom to be who you are. It's freedom.'
Punk
: The
Definitive
Guide
to the
Blank
Generation
and
Beyond
focuses on the origins of
punk
, ranging from disparate influences such as Dadaism, the Beat
Generation
, the garage bands of the 1960s, the Paris-based Situationist International movement, Jamaican ska bands, Stanley Kubrick's dystopian masterpiece A Clockwork Orange, and the glam rock of the early 1970s. Rich Weidman highlights the best and worst
punk
bands, the greatest
punk
songs and albums, the most notorious concerts, and the rise of American hardcore
punk
. Legendary venues such as CBGB and classic
punk
films and documentaries like The Decline of Western Civilization propelled the rise of pop
punk
bands into the mainstream and every other aspect of
punk
subculture, including its lasting impact on rock 'n' roll and society as a whole."--Publisher.
