1. Summary
The movement was born
in the middle of the 1970s, when the hippy movement started
to disappear, and like their predecessors, the punks reacted against the way their parents were
living, and wanted to be the champions of a
cultural renewal where
freedom of creation would prevail. If the hippies have
almost disappeared from our cities, it is still possible to
meet some punks now. They are easily recognisable. They are
usually dressed in cheap leather
black jackets decorated with nappy pins, chains or nails, all cheap
accessories, they have got tight
trousers, black
boots and they usually adopt the
“Mohawk
hairstyle” which makes them look
like a Native American.
The fact of wearing the same clothes is a way of showing
that they belong to the same community, a community sharing
the same tastes and the same ideology. Of course their look
is a bit aggressive and provocative, but it conveys the
idea of freedom, dear to their
hearts.
