Germany Punk Fashion PicturesPunk is and always was more than just a music style or a passing fashion. Within the last three decades, the punk culture has established itself as a decisive component within the contemporary culture, with big influences on fashion, art, advertising and literature. But what exactly is punk, where are its roots, which meaning did it have in its various places of origin and and to which point has it developed itself until today?
It`s high time that theoreticians, experts, pioneers and activists on punk come together in one place to exchange their points of view and their experiences. As this should not end up in a bloodless, pop historical discussion we also want to have a look at today`s punk. Well-known punk protagonists like Sex Pistols` manager Malcolm Mc Laren, Mark Perry, Marty Thau or Sezgin Boynik will talk and discuss about development, philosophy and substance of punk, its traces in the mainstream culture and its current influences.
