Roundtable: Breaking Punk

Dusty Henry, Martin Douglas, Albina Cabrera, and Janice Headley discuss the idea of "punk" through the lens of four bands. Each of them provides a distinctive approach to punk both as a genre and as a mindset. Nirvana is named as one of the core bands of 1991, "the year punk broke."  Hosts: Dusty Henry and Martin DouglasAudio producer: Roddy NikpourPodcast manager: Isabel KhaliliEditorial director: Larry Mizell Jr.  Support the podcast: kexp.org/cobain 00:00: Intro01:21: What is punk? 05:07: The spunk (punk via Shonen Knife)07:20: What punk means to us13:00: The attitude (punk via The Shaggs)16:55: The aesthetic (punk via Sex Pistols)21:18: Origins of punk23:08: The grit (punk via Black Flag)27:24: Punk as DIY31:42: Punk today35:31: Commodification of punk39:26: "Rollingas" vs. Punks41:53: The time when Janice joined a work call during a street race42:51: The time when our facilities manager, Barry, received a telepathic message from our producer, Roddy43:31: CreditsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
