23. Unlike any other musical genre, Punk rock was started as a deliberate reaction to the mass commercialism of music. In the year 2000, it's common to see someone "being A punk," rather than seeing someone "be punk. In the late 60's and early 70's, the music industry rang eerily familiar in its method of promoting trends over music. The public was being spoon-fed music that corporations simply intended to make a profit from. The backlash to this came to be known internationally as Punk rock. In New York, around the early 1970's, young, virtually unknown artists like Patti Smith, the Velvet Underground, and the Dolls of New York, changed later to New York Dolls, brought about a new style of "alternative-bohemian entertainment, rooted in a "do-it-yourself" attitude. Short, frenetic songs, aggressive, sometimes confrontational stage presence, and angry messages against consumerism hit the stages at venues like New York's CBGB's, starting the movement that would be known as punk rock. Most importantly of all, punk's legacy lies in its introduction of self- employment and activism. It illustrated that anyone can do it themselves, without reliance on the commercial media or the luxury of having financial abundance. Against the backdrop of mass consumer conformity, the punk rock movement made a statement of individuality that was heard worldwide. – By Charles Oh

24. Mohawk DOWN The haircut synonymous with punk rock. It has had a long and varied history, moving from its origin as a ceremonial hairstyle for the Native American Iroquois tribe of Mohawk.

Some choose to sport vintage looks, and many choose to shop at thrift stores (such as the Salvation Army), purchasing clothes at a reasonable price while not contributing to the profits of growing corporations.
