Russian Punk

Russian punk is a high-energy genre characterized by driving rhythms, distorted guitar riffs, and raw, emotive vocals, often with a sarcastic or ironic tone. Emerging in the late 1980s, it evolved from the Soviet underground scene, influenced by Western punk and post-punk, as well as traditional Russian folk music. The genre's popularity peaked in the 1990s and 2000s, with its anti-establishment ethos and irreverent humor resonating with a generation disillusioned with post-Soviet society. Russian punk's cultural significance lies in its challenge to social norms and its representation of marginalized voices. While sharing similarities with Western punk, Russian punk is distinguished by its unique blend of folk influences and a distinctive, deadpan humor. Its impact can be seen in the fusion of punk with other styles, such as ska and folk rock, and in its influence on contemporary Russian alternative music.
