Punk Political Noise
The format of this website follows the chronology of punk music culminating in the creation of the Rock Against Bush compilation albums in 2004. Each section is broken up by decade with a separate section being dedicated to the compilations. These sections will analyze how music played a role in the conveying of punk thought, emphasizing the political nature of the lyrics and the change in sound and reception of the music. This focuses primarily on American punk bands and their responses to politics in the United States. As will be seen throughout, the lyrics of punk bands that were popular in each period tended to create more political lyrics that targeted conservative presidents.
