A bit dirty, loud, quirky, and definitely not conformist. This not only describes the music of the punk rock genre but also album covers, clothing, and the associated dance style: Pogo. For over fifty years, punk rock has existed, emerging simultaneously in New York City and London in the mid-70s. Alongside the music genre, a subculture developed that was provocative and aggressive, with confrontational traits that persist to this day. In music, these aspects are expressed through a fast tempo, rough vocals, and the deliberate distortion of guitars, which are classic to the genre. Drums and electric bass are also essential. The lyrics can lean towards philosophical and political statements. Pioneers of this music genre include Iggy Pop, MC5, The Dictators, and the New York Dolls, with Iggy Pop often being referred to as one of the “Godfathers of Punk.” Punk rock is crafted in a rather simple manner. Usually, three chords shape the atmosphere of a song. This genre is not about virtuosity but about the expression of emotions and communicating a stance. Additionally, many punk rockers are self-taught musicians who play for the fun of it. Some might have also wanted to provoke their parents.

Today, the “classics” of the genre, The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Television, are considered some of the most important representatives of punk rock. In the German-speaking world, punk bands like Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen, the Beatsteaks, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, and Jupiter Jones have made a name for themselves. True fans can see and hear these and other punk bands at festivals such as the Incore Festival in Saarland, the Kill Your Idols Festival in Berlin, or the Störfaktor Festival in Zwickau.
