Punk rock (also known as simply punk) is a music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s. Rooted in 1950s rock and roll[2][3][4] and 1960s garage rock, punk bands rejected the corporate nature of mainstream 1970s rock music. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles with stripped-down instrumentation. Lyricism in punk typically revolves around anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian themes. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through independent labels.
This past Saturday, my friend Seamus drove me back to Philly so we could go to a punk rock show together. I put this on to follow Sum 41 "Chuck" and well...it fucking hit. I don't endorse Tim Armstrong as a person but this album is full of heaters. I love how many times he says "Puerto Ricans". Recommend this song if you wanna have an awesome time with your friends.
