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!

Punk is arguably more of a mindset than a specific sound these days. The early days of punk certainly set a musical style that’s distinctive though. I’d recommend checking out The Cramps and Dead Kennedys if you enjoy the Ramones and the Clash.

No Dogs in Space is a podcast that does deep dives on some of these bands that you might find interesting.
