Not psychedelic rock of the 1960s. Throughout the peak of psychedelic rock, the structural fabric of everyday Western life remained remarkably conservative and tied to the past. People still overwhelmingly married young, often straight out of high school or university, maintained traditional nuclear family households, and adhered to formal civic norms. The so-called 1960s counterculture was a myth.Psychedelic rock musicians were not trying to dismantle high culture, they were trying to expand it. They were highly trained, technically proficient artists who spent thousands of hours mastering instruments, studying classical music theory, and reading epic literature. They viewed their work as an upward, intellectual elevation of a vulgar medium (rock) into the realm of fine art.The arrival of Punk in the late 1970s was a deliberate, violent rejection of this intellectual elevation and the start of anti-intellectualism in the West. Punk did not just attack the music industry; it attacked the very concept of competence, mastery, and tradition.The aesthetic shift initiated by punk laid the groundwork for many aspects of modern degeneracy, normalizing taboos into mainstream trends.While the 1960s counterculture certainly used drugs, it was often framed (rightly or wrongly) around spiritual exploration, mysticism, and mind-expansion. Punk stripped away the mysticism, leaning into raw nihilism, self-harm, and destructive addictions.Practices like heavy tattooing, facial piercing, and intentionally torn, distressed clothing were popularized by the punk movement as badges of societal rejection. Over the subsequent decades, these elements transitioned from shocking counter-cultural statements into highly commercialized, mainstream fashion trends.

>>537333484no. AI says "The CIA inadvertently helped spawn the psychedelic rock movement through Project MKUltra, a secret Cold War mind-control program. In the 1950s, the agency purchased the global supply of LSD, secretly testing it on unwitting citizens. This experiment inadvertently introduced the drug to key counterculture figures."

>>537333484psychedelic rock was made by commie failsons of rich government involved spooks to cause the current cultural revolution we're still pushing back on today. punk was a reactionary stance against this emerging movement made by working class kids who wanted to ditch the industry and build their own system outside the system. you have it perfectly backwards.

>>537333484Punks responded to the ballad rock bs that evolved in the 70s. Punk rock went back to the roots of rock n roll simple 1-4-5 chord progressions. Music becoming secular is what fugged the world.
Punk rock culture was never mainstream, it was a tiny scene, with a bunch of larping posers from the suburbs hanging on around the outskirts.
art is a reflection of society. gimme a nobel peace prize

In a way Punk was like the Jungian shadow of society, punks were the disenfranchised, downtrodden abused fuck ups that society didn't want.People were fucking sick of Disco, that's what drove the DIY music scene.

Blame the Beatles and Elvis for popularizing black music. Everything pop since then has been its own interpretation and offshoot. Hip hop is the only other new form of music to be created in the 20th century - jazz, rock and roll, and hip hop is all there is
