Punk rock subgenres
Punk rock is a type of rock music that is usually fast and loud and has lyrics that talk about serious issues. Punk rock has many different subgenres. These can be divided into two categories: classic punk and modern punk.
Classic punk includes the original type of punk rock that started in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which includes bands like The Clash and The Ramones. Classic punk is often fast and loud, with lots of energy. The lyrics often talk about topics like politics, social issues, and rebellion.
Modern punk includes all of the subgenres of punk that have developed since the original punk rock. Modern punk is often faster and more extreme than classic punk. Some modern punk subgenres include pop punk (like Blink 182 and Good Charlotte), emo (like My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday), hardcore punk (like Black Flag and Minor Threat), ska punk (like Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto), and metalcore (like Bring Me the Horizon). Each of these modern punk subgenres has its own style and sound, but all share the same punk attitude.
