Punk Rock was more than just being about music, it was about a whole new rebellious movement against the government, quaint old traditions and representatives of the establishment. Forty years later I am not so sure that was such a good idea, but back in the 70's it was a lot of fun.So never mind the serious stuff, who remembers the pogo, the bin liners, safety pins, chains and those weird mohican haircuts in multiple colours.The music was even weirder, probably because of the Sex Pistols, the band responsible for initiating Punk Rock in the UK around about 1975
Some of the more contentious records the Sex Pistols released were 'God Save the Queen' and 'Anarchy in the UK'. But it wasn't actually the music that caused the biggest uproar it was when Steve Jones used the 'F' word when being interviewed by a guy called Bill Grundy in 1976. It was probably the single most event that got the Sex Pistols noticed. Like they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. Anyway after that Punk Rock had truly arrived on the UK music scene.Image used under the GNU_Free_Documentation_License Helge Overas
