PUNK
The punk subculture is a subculture based around punk
rock.
It includes music, ideologies, fashion, visual art,
dance, literature and film.

Punk fashion is the clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics,
jewelry, and body modifications of the punk subculture.
The distinct social dress of other subcultures and art
movements, including glam rock, skinheads, rude boys,
greasers, and mods have influenced punk fashion.


Punk fashion has been extremely commercialized at
various times, and many fashion designers such as
Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier have
used punk elements in their production.
Punk clothing, which was initially handmade, became
mass produced and sold in record stores and some
smaller specialty clothing stores by the 1980s.

Punk fashion
Punk rock was pretension found in mainstream music (or even mainstream culture as a whole), and
early punk artists' fashion was defiantly anti-materialistic. Generally unkempt, often short hairstyles
replaced the long-hair hippie look and the usually elaborate 1970s rock/disco styles. In the United
States, dirty, simple clothes - ranging from the T-shirt/jeans/leather jacket Ramones look to the low-
class, second-hand "dress" clothes were preferred over the expensive or colorful clothing popular in the
disco scene.
Other accoutrements worn by some punks included: fishnet stockings (sometimes ripped); spike bands
and other studded or spiked jewelry; safety pins (in clothes and as body piercings); silver bracelets and
heavy eyeliner worn by both men and women. Many female punks rebelled against the stereotypical
image of a woman by combining clothes that were delicate or pretty with clothes that were considered
masculine, such as combining a Ballet tutu with big, clunky boots.
Punk clothing sometimes incorporated everyday objects for aesthetic effect. Purposely-ripped clothes
were held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape; black bin liners (garbage bags) became
dresses, shirts and skirts. Other items added to clothing or as jewellery included razor blades and
chains. Leather, rubber and vinyl clothing have been common,
Preferred footwear included military boots, motorcycle boots, brothel creepers,
Tapered jeans, tight leather pants, trousers with leopard patterns and bondage pants were popular
choices.. Hair was cropped and deliberately made to look messy, and was often dyed bright unnatural
colors. Although provocative, these hairstyles were not as extreme as later punk hairstyles.

Various factions of the punk subculture have different clothing habits, although there is often crossover between
the subgroups. The following are descriptions of some of the most common punk fashion styles.
Standard punk
In general, modern punks wear leather, denim, spikes, chains, and combat boots. They often wear elements of
early punk fashion, such as kutten vests, bondage pants (often plaid) and torn clothing. There is a large influence
by DIY-created and modified clothing, such as ripped or stitched-together pants or shirts.[1]. Hair is typically dyed
in bright, unnatural colours such as red, blue, green, pink or orange and arranged into a mohawk or liberty spikes.
Hair could also be cut very short or shaved. Belts with metal studs, and bullet belts, are popular. Leather or denim
jackets and vests often have patches or are painted with logos that express musical tastes or political views. Pants
are usually tapered tightly. Metal spikes or studs are often added to jackets and vests.

[edit] Glam punk
Glam punk is the oldest punk style, associated with the early groups of the 1970s like the New York Dolls. Glitter,
androgynous make-up, brightly-dyed hair, drainpipe jeans (in reaction to the flared trousers worn by hippies),
bright colours like electric blue and unusual costumes like leopard print or satin shirts are frequently worn.
[edit] Hardcore

Henry Rollins of Black Flag, like many others in the US hardcore scene, eschewed elaborate punk fashions in
favour of a basic style.
There are several styles of dress within the hardcore scene, and styles have changed since the genre started as
hardcore punk in the late 1970s. What is fashionable in one branch of the hardcore scene may be frowned upon in
another. Clothing styles are often chosen to make moshing easier to perform. Plain working class dress and short
hair (with the exception of dreadlocks) are usually associated with hardcore punk. Mute colours and minimal
adornment are usually common. Some elements of hardcore clothing are baggy jeans or work pants, athletic
wear, cargo or military shorts, khakis or cargo pants, band T-shirts, plain T-shirts, muscle shirts, and band
hoodies. Many hardcore punks wear sportswear and sneakers, or boots such as Dr. Martens. Personal comfort
and the ability to mosh are highly influential in this style (Jewellery, spikes, flashy hair and chains are highly
uncommon and discouraged in hardcore fashion.) Many Hardcore Modern Punks wear either Converse high-tops
or Vans shoes. There are many cult favorite Hardcore Punk T-Shirts such as shirts associated with the bands
Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys or The Circle Jerks. Dickies are also a very popular Hardcore punk tradition.
[edit] Anarcho-punk
Anarcho-punk fashion is a politicised adaptation of traditional punk fashion. This all black militaristic fashion was
pioneered by Crass in the United Kingdom and by Crucifix in the United States. A prominent feature is the heavy
use of anarchist symbols and slogans. Some who define themselves as Anarcho-Punks may opt to wear clothing
similar to traditionalist punks or crust punks, but not often to the extreme of either subculture. Mohawks, and liberty
spikes are rarely seen, but can still be worn. Tight pants, bands shirts and boots are common. Hair styling
products are often used only on the basis that the company who manufactures it did not test it on animals.
Leather, often avoided as part of Veganism, may be replaced with imitation leather or cloth in a similar design as
leather products.
[edit] Crust punk
Crust punk fashion is an extreme evolution of traditional punk fashion, and is heavily influenced by bands such as
Doom, Amebix and Antisect. Typical crust punk fashion includes black or camouflage trousers or shorts covered in
patches (heavy work pants are popular for their durability), torn band T-shirts or hoodies covered in patches,
studded vests and jackets (commonly black denim), bullet belts, jewellery made from hemp and other
natural/found objects, and sometimes bum flaps. Patches, even band patches, are often of a political nature.
Clothing tends to be unwashed and unsanitary by conventional standards, and dreadlocks are popular. Crust
punks sometimes sew articles of clothing with found or cheaply-bought materials, such as dental floss. Baseball
caps with patches sewn on or studs implanted are popular headgear. Pants are often held up with string, hemp, or
vegan-friendly imitation leather (sometimes avoided due to the style's connection with animal cruelty)
[edit] Gothic rock, deathrock and horror punk
Deathrock and horror punk fashion is similar to goth fashion. Black is the predominant shade. Deathrock and
horror punk incorporates a sexier image, incorporating fishnets, corsets and elaborate make-up for men and
women. The use of occult and horror imagery is prevalent on T-shirts, buttons, patches and jewellery. Other
common adornments include band names painted on jackets or bleached into clothes, as well as buttons or
patches indicating cities. The initials D and R (for Death Rock) is sometimes part of a crossbone logo,
accompanied by other initials, such as C and A for California, N and Y for New York, or G and R for Germany. Hair
may be in a deathhawk style (a wider teased-out variant of the mohawk hairstyle), an angled bangs style, or a
devilock style.
[edit] Psychobilly and cowpunk

Contemporary psychobilly band: the Horrorpops
Psychobilly emerged in the 1980s and combines punk with elements of 1950s Greaser and British Teddy Boy
fashion: brothel creepers are frequently worn, as well as leather jackets, gas-station shirts, black or white retro T-
shirts and vintage motorcycle/work boots. Hair consists of a quiff or pompadour, usually with the sides shaved into
a mohawk. Clothing is usually adorned with motifs inspired by classic American horror films or art-styles inspired
by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. This style of punk is strongly associated with the Kustom Kulture movement.
Cowpunk blends punk with outlaw country, Southern rock and rock and roll. Fans of cowpunk base their look on
Southern United States poor boys: vintage western wear like checked shirts, Perfecto motorcycle jackets,
wifebeaters, overalls, and cowboy boots. Hair can be a short quiff, crew cut, long, or a psychobilly-style mohawk,
and facial hair is acceptable for males.
[edit] Skate punk
Skate punk is a derivative of hardcore fashion, chosen with confort and practicality in mind. Common skate punk
clothing items include: T-shirts, plaid button-down shirts, hooded sweatshirts, webbing belts, and khaki shorts,
pants or jeans. Some punks, especially in Southern California, mirror Latino gang styles including khaki Dickies
work pants, white T shirts and colored bandanas. While some skateboarders have long and messy hair skate
punks usually have short hair, often shaved into a buzzcut, and wear little jewelery.
[edit] Pop punk

Pop punk fashion sometimes overlaps with skater punk fashion. Originally this consisted of black or tartan baggy
pants (sometimes fited with studs and eyelets), band hoodies, wristbands, patrol caps, pyramid stud belts, dress
shirts with thin ties or scarves, blazers, and spiky hair. In the mid 2000s pop punk fashion, influenced by indie, hip-
hop and the middle class emo subculture, evolved to include cartoon print hoodies, Converse shoes, keffiyehs and
drainpipe pants. was gradually replaced by skater styles with long fringes or bangs. In the 2010s, pop punk fans
took on a more hardcore look with shorter hair (including a wide Mohawk combined with a fringe), plain hoodies,
and straight-leg jeans.

HIPPIES
The hippie subculture was originally a youth
movement that began in the United States
during the early 1960s Composed mostly of
white teenagers and young adults between
the ages of 15 and 25 years old. hippies
inherited a tradition of cultural dissent from
bohemians By 1965, hippies had become an
established social group in the U.S., and the
movement eventually expanded to other
countries

The word hippie derives from hipster, and
was initially used to describe beatniks who
had moved into San Francisco's

These people inherited the countercultural values of the Beat
Generation, created their own communities, listened to psychedelic rock,
embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as cannabis, also
known as marijuana, and LSD to explore alternative states of
consciousness.

Ethos and characteristics
Hippies sought to free themselves
from societal restrictions, choose
their own way, and find new
meaning in life. One expression of
hippie independence from societal
norms was found in their standard
of dress and grooming, which
made hippies instantly
recognizable to one another, and
served as a visual symbol of their
respect for individual rights.
Through their appearance, hippies
declared their willingness to
question authority, and distanced
themselves from the "straight" and
"square" segments of society.

GOTHIC
The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture
found in many countries. It began in the UK during the
early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of
the post-punk genre.
The goth subculture has survived much longer than
others of the same era, and has continued to diversify.
Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences
from 19 Century Gothic literature along with horror movies

GOTHIC FASHION
The Goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and
fashion, whether or not all individuals who share those tastes are in fact
members of the goth subculture.
Goth fashion is stereotyped as a dark, sometimes morbid, eroticized fashion
and style of dress. Typical gothic fashion includes dyed black hair, dark
eyeliner, black fingernails, black period-styled clothing; goths may or may
not have piercings. Styles are often borrowed from the Elizabethan,
Victorian or medieval period and often express pagan, occult or other
religious imagery such as pentacles or ankhs.[9][10] The extent to which
goths hold to this style varies amongst individuals as well as geographical
locality, though virtually all Goths wear some of these elements. Fashion
designers, such as Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, have also been
described as practicing "Haute Goth".[3] Goth fashion is often confused with
heavy metal fashion:[11] outsiders often mistake fans of heavy metal for
goth, particularly those who wear black trench coats or wear "corpse paint"
(a term associated with the black metal music scene).

Siouxsie Sioux was particularly
influential on the dress style of the
Gothic rock scene; Paul Morley of
NME described Siouxsie and the
Banshees's 1980 gig at Futurama:
"[Siouxsie was] modeling her
newest outfit, the one that will
influence how all the girls dress
over the next few months. About
half the girls at Leeds had used
Sioux as a basis for their
appearance, hair to ankle."[12]

MINIMALISTIC
Minimalism describes movements in various forms of
art and design, especially visual art and music, where
the work is stripped down to its most fundamental
features.
The term "minimalist" is often applied colloquially to
designate anything which is spare or stripped to its
essentials
The terms have expanded to encompass a movement
in music which features repetition and iteration

As a specific movement in the arts it is identified with
developments in post-World War II Western Art, most
strongly with American visual arts in the late 1960s
and early 1970s. Prominent artists associated with
this movement include Donald Judd, John
McLaughlin, Robert Morris

Minimalism in Fashion
Designers of minimalism are Calvin Klein, Jil
Sandler, Narciso Rodriguez, and Prada

Effortless, unfussy, unadorned, and powerfully
understated, stark minimalist style is one of few
fashion trends that works for virtually all women of
any age, shape, or social occupation. There's
something extremely confident and uncomplicated
about this unpretentious look, which showcases a
woman's shape, face, and personality, without any
need to distract the eye with ornamental
embellishments or patterns.

GRUNGE
The word grunge is believed to be a back-
formation from the US slang adjective
grungy,which originated in about 1965 as a
slang term for "dirty" or "filthy."


Grunge (sometimes referred to as the
Seattle Sound) is a subgenre of alternative
rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in
the American state of Washington,
particularly in the Seattle area. Inspired by
hardcore punk, heavy metal and indie rock,
grunge is generally characterized by heavily
distorted electric guitars, contrasting song
dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics.
The grunge aesthetic is stripped-down
compared to other forms of rock music, and
many grunge musicians were noted for their
unkempt appearances and rejection of
theatrics

Grunge became commercially successful in
the first half of the 1990s, due mainly to the
release of Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl
Jam's Ten. The success of these bands
boosted the popularity of alternative rock
and made grunge the most popular form of
hard rock music at the time.

HEAVY METAL
The clothing associated with heavy metal has its roots in the biker, rocker, &
leather subcultures. Heavy metal fashion includes elements such as leather
jackets; hi-top basketball shoes (more common with old school thrash
metallers); blue or black skinny fit jeans, camouflage pants or shorts, and
denim jackets or kutte vests, often adorned with badges, pins and patches.
As with the bikers, there is a fascination with Germanic imagery, such as the
Iron Cross.
Distinct aspects of heavy metal fashion can be credited to various bands, but
the band that takes the most credit for revolutionizing the look was Judas
Priest, primarily with its singer, Rob Halford.
Halford wore a leather costume on stage as early as 1978 to coincide with
the promotion for the Hell Bent for Leather album. In a 1998 interview, Halford
described the biker and leather subculture as the inspiration for this look.
Shortly after appropriating the leather look, Halford started appearing onstage
on a roaring motor bike. Soon, the rest of the band followed.
