Development history
origin
The word punk is called by the British. At that time, after World War II, the British economy was depressed and the unemployment rate was high. At that time, Hollywood movies in the United States flourished, which indirectly led to the collapse of the British film industry. In terms of music career, Britain is also in a downturn, and progressive (radical, avant-garde, that is, radical rock) poetic rock music is popular in the United States, with more than ten minutes of solo (solo; Solo), music pays great attention to technical expression, and rock music is gradually commercialized and becomes the mainstream ground commodity. At that time, the performers of progressive rock music were Yes, Genesis and King Crimson ... In fact, since the 1960s, rock music has gradually entered a sad situation. For commercial interests, bands and musicians are increasingly lacking the sensitivity and conflict that rock music should have.

The label "sex pistol" (translated as "sex pistol" in Chinese mainland) signed by Virgin Records 1975 is the starting point of punk. Their album God Save the Queen boldly sealed the Queen's mouth with the seal of "sex pistol". This bold style is unprecedented (and a British band, the Japanese team, bombed the portrait of Mao Zedong in the post-New The Romantic Period music video). They completely vented their resentment, which is an accusation against the future and society. This is the birth of punk.
For a time, punk became a craze, because punk belongs to popular culture, which is easy to be recognized (based on British social problems) and gives people a way to vent; At that time, Samuel Hui's song "Half a catty, eight taels" was also influenced by punk culture, which sang the mentality of wage earners and showed the universality and compatibility of punk (I didn't notice that "Half a catty, eight taels" was sold to a full house).
Trigonometric music
Punk is a deformed product of unbalanced compression between material and desire, ideal and environment, and sensitivity to material is an important concept of punk. They make you feel irritable, aggressive and dissatisfied with everything, so most punk music involves sex, drugs and violence.
Punk in Sanhe String Theory is an extremely democratic rock triad, which refers to the triad chord composed of only the simplest three sounds, without any modification at all, and directly, forcefully and nakedly expresses what you want to say. Punk didn't have a long speech, only 2-3 minutes (Ramones emphasized this point and insisted on doing it all the time), completely following the mainstream of the year.
Because of the simplicity and popularity of punk music, many punk bands play their first notes in the streets, cars and warehouses. Music is no longer a profound knowledge, because punk's participation is very strong, which makes punk music popular and has a positive role in promoting rock music.
The evolution of punk
Although punk is so extreme, it has finally written an important page in the history of world art. The appearance of punk is not only in the music world, but also affects fashion, graphic images, videos and interior decoration. The writer Malcolm Mclarer said, "If punk was only about music, it would have died long ago", "Punk is the most important event in postwar Britain." Punk may also give a little explanation to the ambiguous postmodernism.
Punk has developed so widely that we may not even realize it. It has become a performance art, an idea and even a life. In graphic design, the album cover of "Sex Pistol" triggered an upsurge of "parallel pasting". Poster magazines of that year were all typeset in this way, which had a great influence on the design industry in the future.
In fashion design, people may always misunderstand that those who have punk head are punk friends, which is wrong. In fact, the trend of punk must have been experienced by young people in the 1980s. At that time, Anita Mui's whole costume was influenced by punk LOOK. People think that Miss Mei is leading the trend, but in fact, she is following the trend! Punk LOOK is often a form of rebellion. In the 1980s, a boy named Gell began to tie his hair, a pair of narrow jeans, a white shirt without buttons and a walkman with headphones hanging around his waist, which was already a punk (unfortunately, Hong Kong people only learned to watch, and headphones listened to Chinese pop songs).
"Collapse" space
After we know the history of punk's name, we already know it to some extent. In addition to the above, the meaning of punk has entered the indoor space. In addition to rebellion and dissatisfaction, punk also created a concise and powerful artistic definition. Punk triad travels all over the world, which is an inspiration for interior designers.
"Simplicity" and "power" have been heard a lot in modern design circles, but have you ever thought that this is the concept of punk? Explained by music, punk has no "decorative sound", but consists of three major chords (positive triad, that is, the first, fourth and fifth chords in major, that is, main chord, secondary chord and secondary chord). Without a deep foundation, putting these principles into indoor space is simply to form a space with primitive elements such as points, lines and planes, just like "LOFT". Compared with the decorative arts from the pre-war to the 1960' s, even the open space during the art & craft period was full of decorations, such as carved tables and chairs, gorgeous chandeliers and exquisite carpets. It's like the progressive poetry and rock music in the 1960s, which is full of decorative syllables, uses thousands of chords and pays great attention to the expression of skills.
Punk interior design is mainly based on the simplest shapes, such as columns, rectangles and other primitive shapes, but there are not many colors. Simplicity is power. Because of this, punk interior is not easy to be noticed because it has no strong design elements. People often use the word "simplicity" as a shield, but they never thought that "simplicity" was a member of art history, and no one thought of punk club. In modern life, there are many brands with punk as design elements around us, such as IKEA, which is a living example. If we pay more attention to the things around us on weekdays, we will find more punk footprints, because we simply live in the punk era.
