Punk Rock

The genre Punk rock is of relatively recent origin. Contemporary bands like Linkin Park and Greenday are probably the better exponents of this genre. The trademark of this genre is Punk lyrics which relate to the Punk culture of the U.S. The lyrics are usually simple and have a definite message. The acoustics are midway between metal are hard rock with DJs and electronic music. Drumming is usually flat with elaborate rolls between nice chops. Distortion involves a major part in this type of music. Both lead and backing guitars use extensive distortion. The music is easy and one can easily relate to it without sounding too doped.
