Панк-рок
Pank-rok (Russian punk rock) is a high-energy subgenre rooted in global punk traditions, thriving in Russia's underground since the late 1970s. It features raw aggression, simple power chord progressions, fast tempos, and lyrics confronting social rebellion, anti-establishment views, Soviet-era oppression, alcoholism, and urban alienation.
Origin: Russia, emerging in the late Soviet underground, influenced by UK/US punk (Sex Pistols, Ramones) but adapted to local dissent against communism, censorship, and daily hardships.
Era: Late 1970s - present, peaking in the 1980s perestroika era with bands like Grazhdanskaya Oborona and Kino.
