PUNK LITERATURE (PUNK LIT!)

Punk literature

Punk literature (also called punk lit and, rarely, punklit) is a form of literature that emerged from the punk subculture. The attitude and ideology of punk rock gave rise to distinctive characteristics in the writing it manifested. It has had an influence on the popular transgressional fiction literary genre and several science fiction and fantasy genres have been derived from it.

Journalism: The punk rock subculture has had its own underground press in the form of punk zines, punk-related magazine circulations produced independently and with a highly limited reception and release. Punk zines chronicle and help to define punk in a particular area. Most punk scenes have at least one punk zine, which feature news, gossip, cultural criticism, and interviews with local or touring punk rock bands. Some punk zines take the form of perzines. Important punk zines includeMaximum RocknRoll, Punk Planet, Cometbus, Girl Germs, Kill Your Pet Puppy, J.D.s, Sniffin' Glue, Absolutely Zippoand Punk Magazine. Also London based internet magazine Distorted Magazine!










Punk journalists and magazine contributors include: Mykel Board, John Holmstrom, Robert Eggplant, Cristy C. Road and Aaron Cometbus.
