episode 9: 9 - Mohawks & Safety Pins: The History of Punk Music
The history of music is filled with counterculture movements, and none of them gave the middle finger to society louder or angrier than punk. We take you through a brief history of punk music, starting with the garage rock of the late 60s that inspired it up through the commercialized pop punk that sold tens of millions of copies. We talk about some of the most interesting characters and influential bands of the movement, including the holy trinity of punk music: The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and the Clash. Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.
