September 2001 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 100 Club Punk Rock
Festival. As a cultural phenomenon, Punk Rock invoked a radical history,
associating itself with Chartism, the siege of Sidney Street, the Angry
Brigade bombings, the Spanish anarchist Buenaventura Durruti, the
seventeenth-century Diggers, Charles Fourier, William Morris, and
Situationism. Against the background of the collapse of the post-war
consensus and the rise of the New Right, Punk generated a new independence
and experimantalism in music, media, fashion, and body modification, as
well as giving rise to new cross-cultural alignments and conflicts - UK
Reggae, 2-Tone, Oi, Goth, Grunge, Cyberpunk, generation x, Modern Primitivism.
Twenty-five years after the 100 Club Punk Rock Festival, it is time to put
Punk Rock into perspective, both as a musical event and as a cultural
phenomenon.
