The causes and consequences of the British punk movement

Public

Throughout the 20th century, the importance of youth and music has been paramount in the development of British popular culture. While in London, I was able to investigate one of the most influential of these subcultures: punk. The uniqueness of the punk movement was not only in its ideology, which consisted of overt nihilism and an anti-establishment mentality, but also in the attention it received. It was this rebellious nature that made punk popular; however, it also ensured its demise.
