History
The beginning of the modern punk was in the late 60´s of the 20th century. Groups of this time were "The Stooges", "MC5", "The Sonics", "Velvet Underground", "Sex Pistols" and "God save the Queen". Punk was the raction of the hippie-movement.
It was against the idealism and the view of the hippies. Instead, the punks put on the refusal and were against hopeful future expectation.
Bodyjewelly
Piercingjewelly is more popular in the punkscene than in the youth-movement. In 1980 punks wear safety pins as jewellery. Tattoos are often, too.
Hairstyle
Punks have flashy hairstyles.
The most popular is the so-called "Mohawk". Often the hair is dazzlind coloured, too.
Clothes
· Boots like Doc Martens or sneakers like Chucks.
· tight trousers like jeans or coloured bondage-trousers with lot of zippers and pieces of material lines, wearing together with a kind of a kilt
· belt with studs or chains
· leather-jackets (together with studs, safety pins, slogans and buttons) or bomber jackets.
· Bracelets and necklaces with studs, boot-lines and chains as accessoires
Punkclothes are often, tore, painted, inscribed or changed in other ways.
Altogether
1968 the hippie-movement was the starting point of the punk-movement.
Punk is formed of sozialism, kommunism and anarchism. The beginning of the english-punk can not be compared with the american-punk.
Education and work are not a basic of the punk-movement. Most of the punks are teenagers, because they acquite a taste for the new clothes and the music. London is the beginning-centre of punk. Principies are: "Don´t believe anyone", "Be yourself" and "Be questionable against stars".
First punkbands came from the USA.
A lot of punk-directions like "Skapunk", "Funpunk", "Skatepunk", but the most popular was the "New Wave".
In the middle of the 80´s a hardcore-movement began.
Punk shows criticism by musik, clothes or definite slogans. Punk is against the norm.
Their way of life is anarchy (life without laws) and chaos.
Punks often take drugs and drink alcohol.
Most of them were still punks after the first onrush, because it was a trend.
In the beginning of the punk-movement, punks were rather young, but now most of them are older, Some singer out off some punkbands for example are older than 60 years.
