For Thursday...

Please spend some time looking at one of the punk links on this blog (down on the left hand side), or find a new website related to punk, post-punk, emo, etc. Post the link to the site as a comment and come to class prepared to discuss what you found interesting about the site.

I chose to look at the UK punk website, http://www.punk77.co.uk/

First of all I’m interested in that period of time and what basically happened. A point that I thought was pretty interesting is the fact that the UK and the US punk bands are listed on the website, which is perhaps one way or another to find out about artists you don’t know about. There are also links to Punk books and photographers, who are probably an important factor in the development of one’s style.

The link to “Punk Features” is also pretty interesting, because it goes further than US and UK bands, also allowing the reader to find out more about this wave called Punk.

i took a closer look at the afro punk website because i knew it was the documentary we were watching in class today.

Afropunk is a huge culture on the rise. Not only visible in the documentary but in any local community.

Despite racial issues Afropunk is an incredible aspect of the evolution of the punk lifestyle and movement
