Punk Music Part II

I thought the second half of the video was a little more interesting than the first half. It showed the problems that Punk bands had to face more than the earlier segment. I liked how the video focused on Punk's waves of progress. As years went on, Punk began to change itself. Its artists actually wanted to be musicians. In the early years of Punk, no one could really play well. That changed when bands actually started to want record deals. For a while, it seemed like Punk bands had fallen off the map. Their popularity and success came in waves. The time between these waves gave the genre time to change. Within this time, sub genres of Punk were created. Punk music became more hardcore. Punk still expressed the same "I do not care what you think of me" mentality but had a different ways of portraying that expression. I also thought that the black Punk band Bad Brains was interesting. Before this video, I had never heard of them. Another interesting part of the video was when the Sex Pistols had to face so much rage when they went on tour in the United States. I knew there were problems with the music but I did not think that people would be against them in the way they were when the Sex Pistols performed in San Antonio. By the end of the video, I had learned a lot. I never was really into the whole Punk music genre, but after watching this video I might give the music a chance. I do know a few songs here and there but not enough to go out and buy an entire album.
