How does punk rock effect society?

Answer 1

Punk rock affects the society in different ways. For some people, punk rock may be unnecessary and without a meaning, whereas for others it can mean a lot, like everything. Punk rock has developed over the years, and brought a different impact to the society. I personally think, that punk rock has improved the society, as without it, the society would have been boring and pointless. Punk rock has added a sharp, rock 'n' roll edge to the society, and has left some good memories. Some people say that there hasn't been any real punks around since 1970's, but I don't think that is true. It has developed in the 1970's and therefore there were much more punks back then, but this doesn't mean that there aren't any real punks nowadays - there are, but just less. So, punk rock has affected the society in many ways and it has changed it for good.

Answer 2

Punk has alot of different sub genres and all differ. Although the basic attitude of punk in my opinion is to do what you want without caring what people think, and also have the freedom to be able to do this.

Anti capitalism and Anti communism are other strong opinions you will see throughout the punk genre.

Anti racism, anti sexism, anti homophobia are also hugely important in my opinion.
