Punk is defined as a loud, fast pace, and aggressive type of rock audio that is common in the 70's and 80's. New punk releases have great influence like their father, the punk rock. The art of music, attitude and trend that would evolve into 'punk-rock' originated with the garage rock bands of the 1960s. Velvet Underground and the Stooges would pave the way for the mohawked, pinned punks of the seventies, with their uncooked sound and obvious embrace of the anti-image.

The 70's was when the original punk was discovered. It was the time of punk records hitting almost every household. If that stage of punk was the only thing you are familiar with, you will be amazed with its punk offspring of today.
