There is, however, one other field that music community has had a stronghold on for the past five decades; musicians have the uncanny ability to set trends in the world of fashion. This idea digs much deeper than a group of teens painting their faces and dressing up like the members of KISS. Punk music may be the best example of bands setting fashion trends. Here’s a quick glance at the history of alternative clothing and how it is associated to punk:

• Punk rock developed in the mid 1970s. Bands like The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and The Clash all rumbled onto the scene with a great enough force to take the youth of America by storm.

• Punk music was unruly, rebellious, and generally tended to break the rules of rock and roll, both musically and emotionally. These feelings helped shape the fashion that went along with punk.

• Ripped T-shirts, torn jeans, anarchy symbols, leather jackets, patches, and shirts with controversial slogans began showing up throughout the punk rock scene.

• As rebellions grew and the 70′s turned into the 80′s, punk fashion continued to stretch its boundaries. Plaid shirts and heavy chains became part of the look, while Doc Martens and combat boots were the footwear of choice. It was around this time that followers of punk rock began shopping at thrift stores, where they’d often write band names or offensive quotes on the clothing that they purchased. The 1980s were also a decade of Mohawks and dyed hair. Youths tried looking as unconventional as possible, which led to weird, albeit unique, hairstyles.

Today, punk fashion is often referred to as underground fashion. Over the last thirty years, the style has evolved into numerous subcultures. One person may be wearing a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and a plain white T-shirt, while another is wearing steel toed combat boots and a leather jackets. Both of these fashion statements might be considered punk by today’s standards. Brands like Metal Mulisha and Yellow Rat Bastard have taken punk fashion and altered it to fit the commercialization needs that our country faced moving into the new millennium.
