Italian punk is a raucous and spirited subgenre of punk rock that emerged in Italy during the late 1970s and early 1980s, embodying the countercultural ethos and anti-establishment sentiments widespread among youth at the time. Infused with the raw energy and speedy tempos characteristic of punk music, Italian punk is distinguished by its incorporation of Italian linguistic flair and sociopolitical commentary, often reflecting domestic concerns and a keen sense of regional identity. Bands like CCCP – Fedeli Alla Linea fused punk with post-punk and Italian folk influences, while others like Punkreas and Derozer stuck to more straightforward punk approaches, delivering blistering critiques and catchy hooks in equal measure. Italian punk bands have developed a loyal following both domestically and internationally, championing DIY aesthetics and the passionate, rebellious spirit at the heart of the genre.
