Punk music is a high-energy genre characterized by driving rhythms, simple chord progressions, and often, raw, rebellious vocals. Emerging in the mid-1970s, punk evolved from the garage rock and proto-punk scenes, with early pioneers drawing inspiration from 1960s rock and roll, and later, post-punk and new wave movements. The genre's heyday spanned the late 1970s to early 1980s, with a resurgence in the 1990s and 2000s. Punk's cultural significance lies in its anti-establishment ethos, DIY ethos, and anti-glam aesthetic, which rejected mainstream values and inspired a generation of disaffected youth. Punk's influence can be seen in later genres like post-hardcore and alternative rock, and its sound is distinct from similar styles like new wave and hardcore, due to its emphasis on raw energy, simplicity, and emotional intensity.
