Punk,” a slang word meaning rotten or worthless, is the name for a rock music scene that has its roots in New York City in the mid‐1970s with bands such as the Ramones, Blondie, and Talking Heads. Other early influences and proto‐punk bands included Wayne County, New York Dolls, MC5, the Velvet Underground, and Iggy Pop and the Stooges. Punk was a subcultural style that privileged anger, alienation, violence, and anarchy. Among punk's many meanings was a rejection of hippie subculture, with its loose clothes, long hair, themes of love and peace, and liberal politics. Moreover, as a central principle, punk rejected the dominance of profit‐driven corporate rock
