YOUTH SUBCULTURE-PUNK

Punk had its roots somewhere in the mid-1970s. Punks can come from any and all walks of life and economic classes. The subculture is predominantly male, with the exception of the riot movement. The punk subculture is centered around listening to recordings or live concerts of a loud, aggressive genre of rock music called punk rock, usually shortened to punk.

Inspired by its musical genre, a distinct type of fashion has been developed. they started to black shirts or skirts, safety pins and razor blades were used as jewelry, also wear tight jeans, Converse sneakers and skate shoes. Some punks wear clothes displaying a Nazi Swastika for shock-value, but most punks are anti-racist and are more likely to wear a crossed-out swastika symbol. Some punks cut their hair into Mohawks, style it stand in spikes and color it with unnatural hues.

Punk aesthetics determine the type of art punks enjoy, usually with underground, minimalistic and satirical sensibilities. Punk art is often concerned with political issues such as social injustice and economic disparity. The use of images of suffering to shock and create feelings of empathy in the viewer is common. Much of the earlier artwork was in black and white. Alternatively, punk artwork may contain images of selfishness, stupidity, or apathy to provoke contempt in the viewer.

POEM :
His arm around her waist,
With his studded belt in place.
A band tee covers his chiseled body,
"Three Days Grace."
As he reaches up,
To outline her pretty face.
Hot pink Converse on her feet,
She strums on her guitar.
He takes a few steps back,
But he's not going far.

Colorful bracelets line her arm,
As she keeps on playing.
He abruptly stops,and looks at her.
And her hand he begins taking.
She stops what she is doing
And looks into his eyes.
Brushes back his shaggy hair,
and begins to rise.

They fall onto a grungy couch together,
He looks in her eyes and whispers,
"I'll Love You Forever."
Those words,
They gave her such a high.
She knew they couldn't be a lie.

Starting then,
they shared an eternal bond.
As the music in the background, played on and on..=).
