Punk first started as a reaction against the 'over-the-top' rock music of the 1970s. It was pure, stripped down music with short tracks and a rough, raw feel. It was generally accepted that you didn't have to be a good musician to perform punk rock - anyone could have a go. There's a famous drawing from a music magazine of the time which showed three chords and the words "This is a chord, this is another, this is a third. Now form a band"! Punk music was very loud and brash lyrics were generally quite aggressive and shouted rather than sung. Being at a punk rock gig was a pretty physical experience. The audience would stand very close to the stage and instead of dancing they would jump up and down in a style called 'pogoing'.
