Punk Rock
There was a punk music revolution in 1977 many new punk rock bands emerged and ushered in the alternative pop and rock is 1980. These bands still put out songs about political issues but the music style changed. Songs using a synthesizer and yet other songs with a more melodic acoustic guitar were coming about. These songs changed the music scene.
There are several related styles included in this genre, New wave, Alternative Pop/Rock, New Romantic, Indie Rock, and Pop Music. Some of the more notable bands in this era are The Cure, Devo, The Saints, Talking Heads, Adam Ant, Bauhaus, and Depeche Mode. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=77:2636
Punk Music knows no boundaries is comes from all over the world. The Ramones and Sex Pistols set the stage for other Punk Rock bands and each decade the music changes but old favorites remain popular. Floggy Molly is a punk band from California who mixes punk music with an Irish flavor, uniting the two with ease.

Clinic (band)
"I’ve never liked the idea that you’ve got the lead singer out front, and it’s a standard rock band. I don’t think the image is an essential element, it’s more of an addition to it – it’s just something else visually there. It wouldn’t really make too much difference whether you played in costume or not, the main thing is still the music." — Ade Blackburn, interview with L.A. Recordhttp://larecord.com/interviews/2008/05/20/clinic-more-of-a-nunny-state
"We’ve always collected creaky old instruments...there’s always knackered dulcimers and mandolins and stuff like that lying about. Writing on those helps you still approach it like kids. If you get another instrument you can’t play, you have to work it out, and you end up coming up with something simple, little melodies." — Ade Blackburn, interview with Domino Recordshttp://www.dominorecordco.com/artists/clinic/

The Durutti Column
"Moby. Bloody hell. It's boring, it's really obvious. He's a huge plagiarist. He's listened to a lot of Factory bands and he's admitted as much. He's actually pinched my use of sampling I think, but made it really obvious. And he's a born again Christian, which makes it even worse." — Vini Reilly, interview with Vanguard Onlinehttp://www.vanguard-online.co.uk/archive/music/interv17.htm (Speaking on music artist Moby's use of samples)
"We never ever rehearse – I’ve got a policy that we never rehearse. I think that kills music, we just go for it onstage and see what happens. You try and get the best musicians together and try to transmit emotion with what you’ve got. It’s about exploiting their talent. I don’t mean exploiting as in ripping them off, but in getting the best out of their talent, pushing them a little." — Vini Reilly, interview with Clash Musichttp://www.clashmusic.com/feature/the-durutti-column

Punk
The subculture, which is associated with punk rock, is as diverse as the people who listen to the music. While some may believe that punk rockers are progressive or left wing in their political thinking, they really are all over the political spectrum. http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/display/86
Punk rockers as they sometimes are called, are very independent and love the freedom of personal expression. Some have multiple piercings, and have hair color, which has been dyed to various colors. It appears that those who enjoy this type of music love to shock other people with this freedom of personal expression, which includes not only the hair colors, which stands out but add in hairstyles, which reflect that style.
Some of those people who listen to puck like to wear suggestive vinyl, rubber, or leather clothing in public because other people associate this type of clothing with sexual acts. Punk clothing is also known to be tight blue jeans, t-shirts with band logos, and occasionally you will find someone in the culture that enjoys drawing a swastika on clothing purely for the shock value it brings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_subculture
There artwork is also individualized and expresses their music. Punk album covers or artwork in generally created with easy to understand messages of contempt with political issues.
