朋克

The beginnings of punk rock are often furiously debated. This is partially because everyone has different definition of punk rock, and partially because its foundation stones are found in several places. “Punk Rock” was originally used to describe the garage musicians of the 1960s. Bands like the Sonics were starting up and playing out with no musical or vocal instruction, and often limited skill. Because they didn't know the rules of music, they were able to break the rules.
关于朋克摇滚的起源,常常有很激烈的争论。原因之一在于每个人对于朋克摇滚的看法不一样,另一原因则是有好几个地方都能探寻到朋克的起源。“朋克摇滚”一词最早指20世纪60年代的车库音乐家。超音速等乐队开始兴起,他们没有接受过音乐或声乐教育就从事演奏,且往往技巧有限。因为不通晓音乐规则,所以他们才能够打破规则。

The mid to late 1960s saw the appearance of the Stooges and the MC5 in Detroit. They were raw, crude and often political. Their concerts were often violent affairs, and they were opening the eyes of the music world. The Velvet Underground is the next piece in the puzzle. The Velvet Underground, managed by Andy Warhol, was producing music that often bordered on noise. They were expanding the definitions of music without even realizing it. The final primary influence is found in the foundations of Glam Rock. Artists like David Bowie and the New York Dolls were dressing outrageously, living extravagantly and producing loud trashy rock and roll.
20世纪60年代中期至晚期,傀儡乐队和MC5乐队在底特律兴起。他们的音乐原始、天然,且常常与政治挂钩。他们的演唱会常常充斥着暴力事件,他们打开了音乐界的视野。地下丝绒乐队是促进朋克乐涌起的另一支力量。该乐队由安迪·沃霍尔管理,制作的音乐几乎与噪声无异。他们在不知觉的情况下,进一步扩大了音乐的界限。迷惑摇滚的形成是推动朋克发展的最后一支主要力量。包括大卫·鲍伊在内的艺术家和纽约娃娃等乐队穿着离谱的服饰,挥霍无度,制作出既吵闹又无价值的摇滚乐。

The first concrete punk rock scene appeared in the mid 1970s in New York. Bands were unified by their location, camaraderie, and shared musical influences. They would all go on to develop their own styles and many would shift away from punk rock.
首次实质性的朋克摇滚表演出现在70年代中期的纽约。乐队因地理位置、友情和共同的音乐影响联合在一起。他们会继续发展形成自己的风格,很多乐队则会逐渐偏离朋克摇滚乐。
