If the original movement in the 70s was in response to political stagnation in the UK and the Vietnam war in the US. And the revival in the 00s in response to the US wars in the Middle East. Between Black Lives Matters, No Kings protests, and far right political parties recent win across the globe, where is the Punk movement? Where is the disenfranchised youth grinding out their anger on an electric guitar in an abandoned industrial building?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who suggested various artists. I’m going to check them all out!

I was expecting that the Brexit consequences would bring about a music revolution like the punk in the 70s. Maybe not rock, but hip-hop or something.

I guess it's just not coming. Kids are too busy scrolling and fighting strangers online.
