Om avsnittet

This episode unpacks how the punk rebellion, born in cramped New York basements and London club scenes, rippled around the world through cassette trading, independent labels like Rough Trade, SST, Dischord, underground fanzines, and DIY touring networks. It charts key moments—from early European pressings to Soviet tape smuggling—and explains how these mechanisms turned a local shockwave into an international cultural movement that persists today.
