The punk movement emerged in the mid-70s as a rebellion against mainstream rock, attracting musicians seeking a different lifestyle. Don Letts' documentary "Punk Attitude" captures this spirit, featuring insights from Jim Jarmusch and Glenn Branca on 60's roots. Letts delves into the original New York punk wave with bands like Television and Talking Heads. The film's second part highlights the UK explosion with Sex Pistols and Clash, along with the contemporary scene. Interviews with Chrissie Hynde and Paul Simonon shed light on DIY's impact on fashion, music, and even publishing, influencing new wave and reggae.

I love punk because it was part of my youth in the late seventies, it was raw, fast and us kids could relate to it, not every kid but the wayward slightly weird kids who didn't conform to authority, the kids who wanted something different from their predessors. I'm now 61 and still have my old punk records and still go to gigs. Weird I know but it still strikes a chord with me and takes me back to a time when I didn't give a shit.

O. shit. The Clash, "know your rights!' opens the show. Haven't heard that song in 20 years. What a classic. Perfect punk song.

"Punk rock should mean freedom, liking and excepting anything that you like. Playing whatever you want. As sloppy as you want. As long as it's good and it has passion..." -Kurt Cobain

Punk isn’t about a label as a punk, it’s about an attitude and how you stand up for your pride.

my Dad told me that when he saw The Ramones in the early the early 80s before he left the UK, he had never been so tired after a show cus they literally didnt stop, once one song was done they immediately started counting into the next

Some of the best stuff came out of the 'dark ages' of the 80's too; Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid, Flipper, Swans to name a few... early influencers Chrome and the Silver Apples really broke ground as to what was possible too. Great doco, thanks for sharing

Love both Fugazi and Minor Threat, and getting into Black Flag and more into Bad Brains. Brilliant documentary of punks' origin within each era. Each band expressed their own thing. Grateful for music!

Blondie didn't "become disco". They did ONLY ONE disco song Heart of Glass, but it was done tongue-in-cheek if you watch the video.

Punk rock is amazing, interesting to see its roots, i went to a punk event recently in my hometown, and the local museum had a big event as well, one former teacher lady formed a group at 61, they played the music event sadly she passed away yesterday, but rest in peace punk rock is very good exciting music.
