Line 1:
Line 1: − '''Punk rock''' is a genre of [[rock music]] that originated in the mid-[[1970s]] in response to the excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. It is characterized by loud and repetitive music featuring highly-distorted power chords in short, fast forms with stripped-down instrumentation. Lyrics tend to be confrontational, anti-establishment and often vulgar. Punk rock is often associated with a certain [[subculture]] that involves anti-authoritarian behavior (to the point of rebelliousness) and distinctive dress.+ − − In 1982, the American television show [[Quincy]] tackled the subject of Punk Rock and its detrimental effects to society. The now infamous "Punk Rock" episode provided television viewers with the first meanigful look at this startling subculture and its sordid association with criminality and drug abuse. Credit must also be given to C.H.I.P.S who investigated the subject as well. − − The first punk rock bands included [[The Clash]], [[The Ramones]],[[The Sex Pistols]] and Houston Texas' [[The Hates]].
