dc.description.abstractMusic and politics have always been intertwined. Something that can be seen very clearly in the world of punk rock. This loud and aggressive style of music is politically loaded and often very critical of the political establishment. Yet, how exactly do politics and punk influence one another? This thesis aims to determine how the political landscape in the United States has influenced the development of punk music. In this context punk is defined as a broad ideology, which is more than just its musical component. It entails music, fashion, and lifestyle, and is often expressed through sharp tongued lyrics. To test the hypothesis that the developments of the political landscape have influenced the development of punk music, and shifted its criticism from American individuals towards the American government and powerful institutions, case studies were done on two important and influential punk songs.en_US
