Turkish punk is a vibrant and rebellious sub-genre of punk rock that emerged from Turkey's underground music scene. Characterized by its aggressive tempo, distorted guitars, and politically charged lyrics, it reflects the socio-political unrest, pushing back against authoritarianism and cultural conservatism. Bands like Rashit and Radical Noise blend raw energy with uniquely Turkish musical influences, creating a sound that is both defiant and culturally resonant. The lyrics often incorporate Turkish slang and street language, voicing the frustrations of the youth. With its DIY ethic, Turkish punk bands in the likes of Sokak Köpekleri and Deli Gömleği have often produced and distributed their music independently, fostering a tight-knit community driven by a desire for social change and artistic expression.
