punk rock

Fast, aggressive guitar riffs and stripped-down instrumentation define punk rock, which emerged in mid-1970s America and Britain. Characterized by short songs, raw production, and rebellious lyrics, punk rejected mainstream rock's complexity. Pioneered by bands like The Ramones and Sex Pistols, it emphasized energy over technical skill.
