Punk is a sub-culture that was born in London, England. Initially, the group is always confounded by punk skinhead groups. However, since the 1980s, when rampant in American punk, punk and skinhead groups as if united, because they have the same spirit. However, Punk can also mean the kind of music or genre that was born in the early 1970s. Punk can also mean the ideology of life that includes social and political aspects.

Youth movement that was initiated by the children of this working-class Americans who quickly spread financial and economic problems triggered by the moral decline by political figures that triggered the level of unemployment and high crime. Punk tried to quip the authorities in his own way, through the songs with music and lyrics are simple yet sometimes coarse, fast beats and stomping.

Many people confuse a punk as a glue sniffer and rioters in the UK because once an epidemic use of strong-smelling glue to replace the beer that was bought by them. Many others who damage the image of punk since many of them roaming the streets and do various crimes.

Punk fashion is more famous than the subject matter and the behavior they display, like the Mohawk-style haircut indian tribe, or a la feathercut cut and colored with bright colors, boots, chains and spikes, leather jackets, tight jeans and shabby clothes, anti-establishment, anti-social, the rioters and criminals from the lower classes, dangerous drunk so many who think that people who look like that's worthy to be called as a punker.

Punk was also a youth resistance movement based on the belief that We Can do it Ourselves. Assessment of punk in the view of a problem can be seen through the lyrics of the song that talks about political issues, environmental, economic, ideological, social and even religious issues.

Brilliant Russian psychologist, Pavel Semenov, concluded that humans satisfy hunger for knowledge in two ways. First, do research on the environment and regulate the research results in a rational (science). Second, reset the immediate environment in order to create something new (art).

With the above definition, punk can be categorized as part of the art world. Lifestyle and mindset of its predecessor punk predecessors like avant-garde art movement, which is dressed nyleneh, blurs the boundaries between artistic ideals and realities of life, provoking the audience openly, using the viewer (the performers) of low quality and reorganize (or mendisorganisasi) establishment lifestyle drastically. Adherents of the two schools are also beginning to believe one thing, that hebohnya appearance (Appearances) must be accompanied by hebohnya thinking (ideas).

Punk then expand as the fruit of disappointment lower-class rock musicians of the music industry was dominated by well-established rock musicians, such as The Beatles, Rolling Stone, and Elvis Presley. Musicians do not play punk rock tunes high technique or a heartbreaking love songs. Conversely, more punk songs like shouting demonstrators protest against cruel world. Punk lyrics of these songs tell the frustration, anger, and saturation of compromise with the law of the streets, poor education, menial work, unemployment and repression apparatus, the government and the figure of the ruler to the people.

As a result labeled as punk rock and roll music streams left, so that often do not get a chance to appear on television. Record companies were reluctant to orbit them.

Lifestyle is relatively no one has the same lifestyle with another. Ideology is taken from the word "ideas" and "logos" which means pure thoughts in life. Lifestyle and ideology developed in accordance with the place, time and situation of the punk Kalisari at this time began to develop the project "jor-rod" that take advantage of the media before the media exploit us.

Punk and Anarchism
Reaganomic failure and defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War in the 1980s, helped temperatures warm up the world of punk at that time. Punk bands second wave (1980-1984), such as Crass, Conflict, and Discharge from the United Kingdom, The Ex and the Dutch BGK, MDC and the Dead Kennedys from the United States has transformed the rebellious spirit of punk into pemendam (rebellious thinkers) rather than just a cult rock n 'roll. Anarchism ideology promoted by the band's ever-punk band's first wave (1972-1978), among others, the Sex Pistols and The Clash, is seen as the only option for those who have lost confidence in the authority of the state, society, and the music industry.

In Indonesia, the term anarchy, anarchist or anarchism is used by the media to declare an act of vandalism, fights or mass violence. Yet according to its founders, namely William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Mikhail Bakunin, anarchism is an ideology that requires the formation of societies without states, with the assumption that the state is a legal form of dictatorship must end.

Countries to enact legal and regulatory enforcement often are coercive, limiting citizens to vote and be responsible for his own choice. Anarchists believe if the state dominance over the people erased, the right to exploit the natural wealth and human resources will grow by itself. People able to meet the needs of her own life without state interference.

The meaning of punk anarchism is not limited to purely political sense. In daily life, anarchism means no rules of restraint, either from public or record company, because they can create its own rules of living and record companies as they wish. Punk ethics of this kind commonly known as DIY (do-it-yourself / do it myself).

Involvement of the punk ideology of anarchism in the end will give new color in the ideology of anarchism itself, because punk has the typical individual in the motion. Who carried the punk movement of anarchism as an ideology commonly known as anarcho-punk movement.

Punk in Indonesia

All products sold are limited and with a very affordable price. Within the framework of the philosophy of punk, distro is resistance to the implementation of the consumer behavior of young devotee of Levi's, Adidas, Nike, Calvin Klein, and other branded goods abroad.
