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.

HARAJUKU KIDS

The fashion style of these youths rarely conform to one particualr style and are usually a mesh of many. It's also known for it's unique street fashion. Many prominent designers and fashion ideas have sprung from Harajuku and incoporated into other fashion throughout the world.

INDIE KIDS

Indie is more commonly known as a music genre. Indie's fan base consists primarily of people who are too cool to care how bad their music sounds. Indie music is "independent" and by definition is terrible as any half decent band would be signed to a major record company.

There style of dress normally consists skinny jeans, sneakers, striped shirts, basic t-shirts in solid colours, or with prints and slongans, babydoll tank tops, bows in the hair and alot of vintage.

Ravers

Techno/Ravers: This subculture consists of people who go to "raves," underground dance parties where people go to hear "techno" (electronically produced) music and have intense synaesthetic experiences which they feel are self-transforming. The ravers use an emotionally laden jargon to attempt to explain the intensity of their experiences to the 'unconverted.'

Skinheads

Skinhead style: Dr. Martens boots with Levi's jeans

A skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, and then spread to other parts of the world.

Named for their close-cropped or shaven heads, the first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specificallyJamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle. Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or race. Since then, however, attitudes toward race and politics have become factors by which some skinheads align themselves.

The political spectrum within the skinhead scene ranges from the far right to the far left, although many skinheads areapolitical. Fashion-wise, skinheads range from a clean-cut 1960s mod-influenced style to less-strict punk- and hardcore-influenced styles.

Subculture: Vogue-ers

Vougers are a collective of individuals united by their individualism to portray race, class and gender in a satirical way through choreography. the original voguers were inspired by 1960 drag queens who challenged masculinity and femininity

Vogue-ers are a subculture based around the highly stylized modern choreography inspired by model poses in fashion magazines.

it was created by the African-American gay community but has a history dating back to the 1960's where black and Latino men were preforming drag at Harlem ballrooms.
