Punk Rock was a subculture and musical genre that spanned the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States in the 1970s. Punk Rock maintained a DIY or Do-IT-Yourself aspect throughout its reign. The style and music was edgy. The songs were breif and fast. Lyrics were often political. The Clash, The Sex Pistols, and The Ramones were icons in the age of 1976. Iggy Pop was the Godfather of Punk. Punk objected the mainstream and served as a non conformist group for those against the wars but not neccessarily "hippies". Punk Rock was an outlet for the youthful generations across three Nations in the 1970s
