==Musicality==

Punk is charactarised by up-tempo arrangements, and seldom employs instruments other than [[guitar]], bass, and drums. By design, the songs are usually structured to be very simplistic, with the 1-4-5 [[chord]] progression being typical. The lyrics, which are almost always written in a 1-1, 2-2 [[rhyme scheme]], can be concerned with any topic,  but usually deal with some aspect of youth culture or express some theme of "punk attitude" such as opposition to authority.

==Subgenres of punk==

As punk-rock grew in popularity, several subgenres became apparent, some of which represent very fine distinctions (such as anarcho-punk), or small (Muslim punk) or localized (Nardcore) groupings.  Some subgeneric names are probably useful, however, or at least well-known.  Hardcore punk, usually characterized by fast tempos and a stripped-down/minimalist sound was a staple of West Coast punk during the 1980's, especially in the important Southern California-region and has since spread throughout the world.  New Wave, despite being descended of punk, developed its own distinctive sounds and subculture respectively. Forms such as [[Grunge]] and [[Emo|Emotive Hardcore]](both descended of the Post-Hardcore punk movement) each developed largely into their own subcultures respectively in their own right.
