When people think of punk they often think of outrageous fashion and iconic bands like the "Ramones" and the "Sex Pistols." Â But the reality of punk stretches over three decades and numerous countries, with a history as rich and varied as it is shocking and daring. Â With this lavishly illustrated and authoritative A-Z guide, now in a new format, Brian Cogan leads readers through the fiery history of a furious, rebellious, contradictory, and boundary-redefining musical genre and cultural movement that remains as massively influential as it is wildly misunderstood. Â As "The Encyclopedia of Punk" clearly proves, punk music and culture have produced a rich trove of material, above and beyond the hundreds of bands, from books and films to incendiary political movements. Â Paperback, 390 p.
