How Unemployment and Deindustrialisation Ignited Punk’s DIY Revolution
This episode traces the gritty, class‑driven roots of punk—from shuttered factories and high unemployment rates in cities like London, New York, Detroit, and Glasgow to the birth of all‑ages clubs, underground labels, fanzines, and street‑level touring that gave the scene its voice. We dig into how economic hardship forced young musicians and fans alike to build their own venues, press vinyl, write flyers on photocopiers, and forge a culture where money was an obstacle, not an excuse. The conversation shows why the DIY ethic wasn’t just style—it was survival. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
