Explore punk fashion around the world - from New York, California, London and Germany to Iran, Myanmar, Cuba, South Africa, Russia, and Japan. Punk fashion in the 70s pushed against cultural norms, embracing the androgyny of rockers like Patti Smith. Malcolm McLaren brought New York punk style back to London. Geometric shapes were incorporated into makeup for a striking look. When I, a shameless millennial, think of punk fashion, images of models and rock stars in the '80s and '90s immediately flood my mind. You know what I'm talking about: Courtney Love's signature smoky eyes, slip dresses and grungy outwear, Gwen Stefani's staple plaid pants and bandeau tops, the myriad of leather jackets, studded belts, and ubiquitous shades of black worn by all the rockers in that era. Sure, it's easy enough to conjure images of what punk fashion looked like during that time partly because so many of the styles have made a comeback in recent years though not everyone is as familiar with what inspired the timeless sartorial trend to begin with. For instance, did you know that in the '70s, punk fashion was first influenced by the androgynous styles of rockers like Patti Smith and Joan Jett? And was then brought to London, redefined in Germany, adapted in Iran, amplified in Japan, and so on. In Germany, punk evolved into German New Wave, with fluorescent hair color and dramatic makeup. Iranian punk took the classic London punk aesthetic and found ways to adapt it within their religion and culture, incorporating long sleeves and creatively integrating the hijab. A small community in Myanmar stayed underground during decades of military rule. The Cuban punks known as Los Frikis were outcasts, often homeless. Their rejection of society led to early incarnations of the crust punk aesthetic. South Africa's burgeoning punk scene was influenced by hardcore punk's pared down attitude. Pussy Riot brought protest punk to the forefront of Russia's music scene in the 2010s. Harajuku punk took on the London aesthetic and amplified the fashion.

We all have different variations of punk culture and style, for most people watching punk culture is subjective and can't be perfectly defined. Punk varies per city/state/country. For example, when introducing California punk; I grew up in LA and I figured they would mention or include the major influence of East LA punk that spread across LA and eventually pop culture. Originally mosh pits came from East LA in small back yard gigs as a form of releasing emotions and fighting against culture norms. This is why this video is not correct for most people.

I think the german punk was kinda accurate. maybe not all of them dressed like this and Of course they dont look like this anymore. nowadays punks look all the same. People who want to be individual and free but all of them dress up in a uniform. Punk's Dead. Thats how i experienced it. If others have made other experiences with nowaday's Punks: im happy for you

Punk never looked like this in Iran Even tho I'm from the 2000's emo generation and the punks in my country were the generation before me, I know that they never had a style like that Ofc they wanted to adopt the style and live up to it but what they show in the video was inaccurate

I usually like these videos a lot, and was really excited for this one. But the farther I got through it the more disappointed I was lol. More than half not true
reply

I loves lot of these outfits, but theyre a bit inaccurate. They look more like punk inspired, but not actual punk. (Im glad to see some hijab representation though)
reply

The California one isnt really punk, its more emo, which is an evolvement of punk. Cuba is also more grunge. Cuba, London or South Africa might be my fave
reply

Hey im from Iran and lemme tell u that we aren't like this at all. We r just like Californians +a little black scarf. We aren't this much weird
reply

I think the issue is the looks are too clean and polished here but still pretty cool to see what they were inspired by and learn a lil something.
