Tracing the Punk Family Tree: From Garage Roots to Global Cultures

This episode digs into the genealogy of punk rock, charting its evolution from garage‑rock precursors in Detroit and Los Angeles, through the birth of New York and London scenes, to hardcore, post‑punk, goth, grunge and riot grrrl. We trace how DIY practices—pressings, flyers, all‑ages clubs—created a network that spread ideas across continents and spawned new subgenres, showing what made punk both a shared language and a constantly expanding family.
