Hey guys, this one is going to be about the Punks, espacially about their history, and philosophy as well.

Let's begin with history if you don't mind.

The "Punk" movement began in the 70s, with the release of a music-based magazine called "Punk Magazine" which was indeed talking about musical artists that then got called "Punks". It's true that, a little bit of time before the magazine first appeared in America (because yeah, we're in New York), some people from there were already playing Punk music. This was pretty much more considered as some garage or underground rock or something else music. The very first Punk band was from New York, they were  called the "New York Dolls". The Punk movement by itself is pretty interesting but its history is not that long to tell about, and I'm not even sure about it mattering way too much. But well; if we want to talk about Punk history, we probably should talk about the genre's evolution through time. So, through time, the Punks changed, and we could see a lot a different subgenres appearing ending in "-punk". As an example, we can talk about the "cyber-punks". In the actual state of time, Punk subgenres are often more about Punk physical appearence, and this is how we came to consider Green Day as a "pop-punk" band. I guess this must be because people enjoy considering they're a part of a group or a movement and saying "I listen to Green Day, I'm a super lolipopunk" or something.
(This is it for what I know about Punk history.)

Now let's talk Philosophy.

I think the hugest part of a Punk's mind is dedicated to rebellion, and espacially dedicated to the hate of establishements. Establishements are sort of rules people apply in society. This can be either being polite and saying "hello" to somebody, living "around" others, like when you try not to disturb people with your fecal odors (wut) or stuff like that, or whatever you think that is important to do or not to do in society. Laws are establishements too. Now I'd like to jump to something else, which could also explain why the Punk movement was that huge source of conflicts. Let's say you are somebody that always needs to be right about things and you keep fighting against people telling you you're wrong (and dumb, let's have fun and say society is also a sort of moron that hates being wrong about things). Well, if you're A and the other guy is B, and A says B sucks, and B says A does suck, and then you come to B's home to break his bones because you want him to shut-up and he calls friends to tell you you suck while breaking your bones, THEN we can say it looks like a table tennis match. Punks and Society played a table tennis match, and this explains why cohabitation came to be so hard for them both.
Punks were nihilists, which somehow means they had no love for life. "No Future", that's what they claimed, that was their moto.
They considered themselves as a "lost generation", which means they both thought they were rejected by society (complaining just like they were victims) and their time was not right. Some would have prefered living in the past, others in the future (ex: cyber punks) and others just didn't care and committed suicide.
Punks were not assigned to one politic solution in particular. Some wanted to live in a socialist regime, others in a neo-nazi state. A lot of Punks were affected by the human behavior talking about the environnement.
(And this is it for what I know about Philosophy.)

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this, learned things and didn't find this way too rubbishy.
