This genre began between 1974 and 1976 in The UK, USA and Australia. They used the basic instruments: guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals but made them their own style. Punk rock bands featured fast hard-edged music, stripped down instruments, and political and anti-establishment lyrics.
Many bands create there own record labels, and produce there own songs, a kind of D.I.Y way of thinking. the ambassadors for this new musical revolution were The Clash, The Ramones and the Sex Pistols.
There are lots and lots of sub-genres, branching out from punk rock (many of which i have never heard of): Anarcho punk, Art punk, Christian punk, Crust punk, Garage punk, Gothic rock, Glam punk, Hardcore, Horror punk, Nazi punk, Oi!, Riot Grrrl and Skate punk.
By the 80's, pop punk became very popular, with bands like Green Day and The Offspring leading the way in the mainstream, and making the genre widespread.
