Description

With the end of 1970, a musical movement nait in the United Kingdom: the punk one. This appearance has two origins. On the one hand a reaction to the musical kinds into force at the time, in particular rock'n'roll planing and psychedelic, on the other hand, emergence in the USA of a more radical music, more brutal which will inspire the London scene. The punk one is initially a music where simplicity is required: everyone must be able to play, create, to found its group, even if it does not have any talent. The slogan Do it Yourself (even Do you) summarizes this idea. It is a music which wants to be popular, in the direction, accessible to all.
