Street punk, a relentless and impassioned offshoot of punk rock, emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, embodying a rawer, more aggressive sound and aesthetic directly influenced by the everyday lives and struggles of urban working-class youths. Characterized by its high-energy performances, DIY ethic, and often politically charged lyrics, street punk bands like The Devotchkas, The Rabble, and Blanks 77, among others, rail against societal injustices while championing themes of unity, resistance, and rebellion. Musically, street punk harks back to the earlier punk sounds of the 1970s, with fast tempos, catchy, anthemic choruses, and gritty, simplistic instrumentation, making it both a reflection of and reaction to the tougher, street-level realities its creators and adherents face.
