Where does punk hair originate?
The answer to this question is the source of much debate and not many people agree on exactly where the trend started. General opinion though is that, whilst the first true Punk movement occurred in New York during the 1970s, punk as we understand it today, actually has its roots in 1970s London. During this period, unemployment and political unrest were high, resulting in “Anarchy in the UK” and the rebellious, hardcore behaviors we have come to associate with punk. During this period, people went to great efforts to create an appearance that shocked; this extended to their hair. Riotous behavior is no longer inextricably linked with punk hair and today it is more of a fashion statement than a sign of revolt.
