The punk clothing and other cultures: Who influenced whom?

For many, punk and rock music above all go together – with punk's political message becoming more elaborate (or evolving) over time. In the course of the 1970s, punk split off more and more from rock and developed into a subculture of its own. Punk rock was born. Punk rock was born, and from it developed further punk subcultures, such as anarcho punk, crust punk or pop punk. Especially in the early days, however, the connections to rock are unmistakable.

Facts and myths about the punk subculture

How closely punk is linked to fashion can be seen, among other things, in the emergence of the punk rock clothing. Many punks leave no doubt about which music they are enthusiastic about, even visually. Bumping into people is often desired here. For some, however, it is only about presenting a contrast to the „standard mush“ of the masses.

Unfortunately, there are still many prejudices against punks today. If you are in the scene yourself, you certainly know better. But many people are still of the opinion that punks spend their free time barking at passers-by on the street, attacking the police and just being against everything. This, of course, is not the truth. Instead, it is not difficult to see that punks are no more or less peaceful than anyone else. Besides, they have good taste in music and fashion.

With the detachment from rock music and the emergence of punk, a special kind of fashion also developed. This was – especially in comparison to the rocker look – sometimes more flamboyant, relying more on classic patterns and less on the typical ripped trousers. However, some classics of the punk style have lasted for years. In our online shop, you can also find, for example, stud earring sets in screw style.
