Research in Post Punk & Punk Rock Genres




Post-punk music is a genre that had been developed in the late 1970’s, this was a rock music movement. The genre was the roots of ‘punk-rock’ which was developed in the mid 70’s. Artists such as ‘The Clash’, ‘Sex Pistols’ and ‘Ramones’ were some of the first post- punk bands in the 70’s, their style of music challenged the current style and conventions of rock music by adding speed and cutting musical structure down to a few basic chords.



Just like this genre of music challenged the current styles of music in the 70's and 80's, we have decided to challenge stereotypes of gender roles. Looking at the images from these post punk bands I have realised all their personas are similar, so by copying their costume design we managed to reconstruct ourselves so we can represent “joy division”.
