Punk and
Hardcore

:: Jeremy Wilkins
Music is one of the
greatest forms of communication. It is a
medium to convey love, hate, politics, religious
convictions (or lack thereof) or anything
of great significance or even insignificance.
Punk rock and hardcore
music arose from an underground subculture
in the '70s and '80s that wasn’t satisfied
with society; it was music that had something
to say and demanded attention.
Though they wanted
to be heard, they wanted it on their own
terms and shunned commercialism in music,
creating a strong do-it-yourself ethic (DIY).
Not easily accepted in their youth by the
society whose ideals they opposed, punk
and hardcore musicians fought popular social
ideas of the time and set their own agenda.
These images are from
bands that have been born out of these movements.
The music itself has evolved into new sounds
in many instances, but they still demand
to be heard and continue to adhere to a
DIY ethic.
