1 The Punks

2 The punk subculture emerged in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia in the mid-1970s.

3 In the United States during the early 1980s, punk underwent a renaissance in the form of hardcore punk. At the same time Britain saw a parallel movement called street punk.

4 Punks seek to outrage others with highly theatrical clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, tattoos, jewelry and body modification. Early punk fashion adapted everyday objects for aesthetic effect: ripped clothing was held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape; ordinary clothing was customized by embellishing it with marker or adorning it with paint; a black bin liner became a dress, shirt or skirt; safety pins and razor blades were used as jewelry.

6 Some punks wear tight "drainpipe" jeans, plaid/tartan trousers, kilts or skirts, T-shirts, leather jackets. Their favourite musical instrument is guitar.

7 Some punks cut their hair into Mohawks or other dramatic shapes, style it to stand in spikes, and color it with vibrant, unnatural hues.

8 Punk subculture has generated a considerable amount of poetry and prose. Punks have their own underground press which feature news, gossip, cultural criticism, and interviews.
