punk rockers
Safety-pin aesthetic rebels
Punk rockers are people who play, perform, or are devoted fans of punk rock, the raw, fast, aggressive music style that emerged in the mid-1970s.
The term suggests more than musical taste—it implies identification with punk's anti-establishment ethos, often expressed through distinctive fashion: ripped clothing, leather jackets, safety pins, mohawks, and combat boots.
The punk rockers gathered outside the venue hours before doors opened.
