"At the dawn of the 1990s, as the United States celebrated its victory in the Cold
War and sole superpower status by waging war on Iraq and proclaiming democratic capitalism
as the best possible society, the 1990s underground punk renaissance transformed the
punk scene into a site of radical opposition to American empire. Nazi skinheads were
ejected from the punk scene; apathetic attitudes were challenged; women, Latino, and
LGBTQ participants asserted their identities and perspectives within punk; the scene
debated the virtues of maintaining DIY purity versus venturing into the musical mainstream;
and punks participated in protest movements from animal rights to stopping the execution
of Mumia Abu-Jamal to shutting down the 1999 WTO meeting. Punk lyrics offered strident
critiques of American empire, from its exploitation of the Third World to its warped
social relations. Numerous subgenres of punk proliferated to deliver this critique,
such as the blazing hardcore punk of bands like Los Crudos, propagandistic crust-punk/dis-core;
grindcore and power violence with tempos over 800 BPM, and So-Cal punk with its combination
of melody and hardcore. Musical analysis of each of these styles and the expressive
efficacy of numerous bands reveals that punk is not merely simplistic three-chord
rock music, but a genre that is constantly revolutionizing itself in which nuances
of guitar riffs, vocal timbres, drum beats, and song structures are deeply meaningful
to its audience, as corroborated by the robust discourse in punk zines"
