    Actually we need more appreciation for art. Art is rebellion. Punk rock derived from the new york art scene.

      @mcbenavides85 @return2ozma I once read this article about the first time the Clash met The Ramones, they thought they were actual gang members and were terrified. That’s kinda funny lol.
      Great book Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil that talks all about this.
      The most insane shit was The Shooting Gallery that The Stooges had.
      I can’t believe Iggy Pop is still alive

          @mateofeo85 I enjoy the HS Thompson reference in your handle.

            @mateofeo85 There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

One of the original, and currently largest, punk communities on Lemmy. The purpose of this place should be obvious from the title. Self promotion is ok, but spam is not, so keep it reasonable.

The goal is to help everyone find new tracks from around the world. Post new music, or your old favourites, but hopefully as you browse the group you’ll find something you haven’t heard before. Think more crate digging than top 40 streaming services.

Where possible please try to link to Bandcamp, so others can support the bands you love.

Browse by:

  • New Release posts (add [New Release] to the title when posting)
  • Live footage (add [Live] to the title when posting)
  • Sunday Album Club
