The year is 1963, and The Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie" has been released much to the dismay of parents and some teachers. "Louie, Louie" was only the beginning of what would be known as "punk rock." Soon, other garage bands would start playing edgier more rebellious music. With the British Invasion came an edgier sound. The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was a song that was so simplistic and raw that other rock musicians took notice.
Fast forward only 6 years, and punk rock is becoming more established with bands like The Stooges. This music was full of the "sex drugs and rock and roll" themes that bands from the 1960's embraced and that other bands would re-adopt in the future, another thing that made parents nervous. As the years went by, punk rock evolved into the different styles of punk music that exist today.
This webquest will lead you down a road of clubs, people of ill repute, and awesome music! Using the internet, we will be able to see how punk rock turned from a simplistic and raw form of the expression of ideas like government reform, anarchy and sexual themes to the varied amount of musical styles (emo, pop-punk, screamo, etc) that exist today at Warped Tour.
