Description
One Chord Wonders: Power and Meaning in Punk Rock
This 2015 revised edition of a seminal study explores the complex and contradictory nature of punk rock, from its emergence in the late 1970s to its decline. The book examines the relationship between punk and the music industry, as well as the febrile political atmosphere of Britain during this period.
Through a detailed analysis of the conditions under which punk emerged and declined, the author develops a nuanced view of the music, considering its radical approach to naming, sound, and visual images. The book also explores the influence of British punk in Europe and critically examines various theoretical explanations of the punk phenomenon.
