If the original movement in the 70s was in response to political stagnation in the UK and the Vietnam war in the US. And the revival in the 00s in response to the US wars in the Middle East. Between Black Lives Matters, No Kings protests, and far right political parties recent win across the globe, where is the Punk movement? Where is the disenfranchised youth grinding out their anger on an electric guitar in an abandoned industrial building?
Edit: Thank you to everyone who suggested various artists. I’m going to check them all out!
I mean, Amyl and the Sniffers, PinkShift, Skating Polly (more grungy than punk maybe) BitchKiss, Stray from the path, Blood Lemon, Sorry Mom, etc.
a lot of new punk music is more pointed to RiotGrrl punk these days, but there is a shitload of new, really fucking good punk bands out there. We just lack a main stream outlet/major tour that showcases it anymore.
Great list. Check out the rat utopia experiment if you haven’t already.
Will do!
