The Relationship Between Punk Subculture and the Specific Needs of Youth
It is stated that a subculture is developed when the beliefs and values of the people living in a society are surrounded by various styles of music, fashion, language, and these beliefs and values of a person are somehow similar to the interests of other individuals. As far as a youth subculture is concerned, its foundation is laid on various style of interest, behavior, and styles(Craig). The youth subculture is said to have a strong influence on the participants of youth, and it provides the participants an outside identity different from social institutions including home, school, family, and work. The Punk subculture, therefore, revolves around diverse ideologies. The sub-culture is characterized by promoting individual freedom, and anti-establishment views. The views of the sub-culture thus becomes the focus of establishing the correlation between needs of the youth and the genre.
There is a systematic hostility in some of the dominant cultures and this hostility is called counter culture. The Punk subculture is one of the most significant dimensions of the youth subculture and it centers on Punk rock music, and it greatly includes forms and fashions of expressions, dance, film, literature and visual arts(Kearns). The punk subculture is characterized by the promotion of individual freedom and establishment views. The contrary depiction by the media, generalizations and government strategies can change the way the public eye view youngsters.
Music is the most important aspect of the punk subculture, in which the punk rock is the most essential aspect (Moore). The Punk rock is the specific music genre, although musicians add different genres of music to the Punk culture. Most of the Punk subculture revolves around short songs, lyrics and simple arrangements through which the punk values are espoused. Punks look to outrage respectability with the exceptionally impressive utilization of garments, haircuts, beauty care products, adornments and body alteration. Punk attire adjusts existing articles for tasteful impact: previously ripped garments are held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape. The garments are sprayed with a marker or paint. Moreover, a dark container liner may turn into a dress, shirt or skirt. Calfskin, elastic and vinyl attire are additionally normal, perhaps because of its suggested association with transgressive sexual practices, for example, servitude, and sadomasochism.
The political spectrum of Punk subculture is covered by the Punk politics, and these ideologies are mostly concerned with anti-establishment views and individual freedom. This type of enjoyment of art punks is minimalistic, satirical insensibilities, iconoclastic and usually has the underground determining the aesthetics of punks. A large number of prose and poetry are developed in the punk subculture. As far as the ideologies of the punk subculture are concerned, these ideologies are categorized as progressive views and left wing views. The significance of punk related ideologies can be understood by the fact that they are connected with anti-establishment views and individual freedom.
The most common viewpoints of the Punk subculture include a DIY ethic, anti-authoritarianism, direct action and non-conformity. The other significant trends of punk politics include anti-capitalism, anarchism, socialism, anti-racism, anti-nationalism, veganism and animal rights, hemophilia, anti-militarism and environmentalism(Moran). Be that as it may, a few people inside the Punk subculture hold conservative perspectives. Various philosophical and creative developments have a strong impact on the forerunners to the punk development. The most distinctive is rebellion, particularly its aesthetic origins. The social study and procedures for progressive activity offered by the Situationist International in the 1950s and 1960s were an impact on the vanguard of the British punk development, especially the Sex Pistols. The manager of Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren intentionally grasped Situationist thoughts, which are likewise reflected in the dress intended for the band by Vivienne Westwood and the visual craftsmanship of the Situationist-subsidiary Jamie Reid, who composed huge numbers of the band's representation. Agnosticism additionally took part in the improvement of punk's thoughtless, entertaining, and now and again somber character. Marxism gave punk some of its progressive interest(Lewin and Williams).
The above characteristics of Punk culture has a direct correlation to any kind of youth. A youth subculture is considered the most distinctive example of subcultures and it is observed and stated that the youth creates a distinction between a subculture by creating their own identity through music, other activities, and dressing. The major point of concern is that when a subculture is incorporated by a dominant culture, it brings a continuous evolution in many of the subcultures. In contrast with standard culture, the current major audience of the Punk group is a gay person or androgynous, particularly in the queercore subculture. Punks have dependably been a typical installation of alternate sex.
Despite the fact that the punk subculture is overwhelmingly against bigot, it is tremendously white, particularly in Europe and North America, and some periphery punk groups uphold perspectives of white matchless quality. These gatherings are generally treated with threatening vibe by whatever is left of the subculture. Various ethnic minorities have participated in and added to the advancement of the subculture, for example, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians. The narrative film Afro-punk looks at the part of African Americans in the punk subculture(Lewin and Williams).
It can be concluded that the highly affected subculture is a musical subculture, which keeps on constantly evolving and its mainstream taste changes with a passage of time. It has also been observed that most of the subcultures modify their ideologies, or they are more resistant to commercial exploitation. The punk subculture is the biggest example because it has gone through various commercial appropriations and revival cycles throughout history. The tattoos, jewelry, hair and distinctive clothing easily identify the followers and members of the punk subculture and by comparing the ideology of subculture with other subcultures, its ideology is totally based on the rejection of conformity and commercialism.
