A Field Guide to Punk

What makes punk what punk is? This book is a quick intro guide to those interested in the subculture, the musical genre, and the history that is contained in the single word. From the social climate of Thatcherism, this book breaks down iconic bands, the culture zeitgeists that fueled and founded the culture: including band breakups, the fashion, engineers and magazines that were the foundations of the cultural climate of the movement. Author Steve Wide dissects how then how the genre and movement have developed and begun to form part of pop culture today.
