Punk In 1976 young Londoners called; ** To the meridal "The philosophers, societies and psychedels, who always look for a long intellectual explanation, sought a pretext to define a new movement with sophisticated words written from the security and comfort of their homes. Punk is the street of the suburbs with droppings and dog breasts. Faces without a future, urban guerrillas with guitars and razors. He had to go through to break the apathetic state in which rock was found, along with the violence and monotony of all metrbpoli. And / attitude and the sound of punk are aggressive, amphetamine, but an orgy is a massacre. The mechanical saw for the electric guitar was changed as a destructive instrument. The symbiosis of fans and music ensembles was perfect, nihilistic, with a hidden desire to burn the city. Punk wants to scratch the bottom of the nail with nails and spit out and spit the pus to fill it without scruples against any authority and state institution.

Excited by this urban explosion, I filled myself to the street to record live the performances of these sets:

Otherwise, from the mk of the mourning Malcolm McLaren and the Vivienne Westwood, it was easy to foresee the great commercial marketing that in the near future fell on us, even reaching the "high, fashion" extraordinaire.

However, punk is a phenomenon with a strong radical impact on rock, with the extreme result of Sex Pistols. The name of this set of music tells us about sex and violence, wrapped up in anarchy. It was the time when the Baader-Meinhof people were murdered "for suicide" by the prisoner <5.

In London, in the summer of 1976, the "riots" broke out, some urban riots against the police during the carnival of the Hotting Hill neighborhood. One year later, the street festivities throughout the United Kingdom to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the II century, Queen of England, coincide with the anti-fascist revolts of the Lewisham <5 black population neighborhood at south of London, and with the unexpected death of Elvis Presley. A great metkfora.

The enriching month of punk is its vital, visceral energy and, at the same time, demonstrates <5 that anyone, even if it lacks Orthodox talent, can take a guitar, a brush, a hammer, an escarpment, a photo camera or film and do what he proposes to do. The only thing that is important is the intent, the forever of the imagination <5. Nothing more. Grkcies Malcolm McLaren.
