From https://promusicianhub.com/what-is-punk-music/
In its most basic definition, Punk music is a manifestation of the rebellious, anti-authority punk subculture that peaked in the second half of the 1970s, primarily in the US and the UK. Not just a music genre, but punk is more of an attitude, a philosophy, and a whole way of being.
Sure it doesn’t sound like punk music, but they sure as hell ripped a massive middle finger at authority.
Punk isn’t a genre, it’s a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.
The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.
Words can be multiple things.
Exactly, many genres of music are tied to a subculture and an aesthetic.
That’s not really what I was getting at.
The 1975 is headed up by a white supremacist. That’s the furthest thing from punk.
If you’ve heard their work, and understood who wrote it, you would know that Matty Healy is not a white supremacist. He’s just a fucking idiot with a shit sense of humor. Kinda tired of people framing people as extremists when they made a few problematic remarks on a couple podcasts at worst.

Yeah fuck you and your actually it’s just some stupid comments made on some podcasts. He admitted to masturbating to black women being brutalized.
