Punk is traditionally ensconced in a DIY ethic, from its “use what ya got” approach with gear to self-taught playing and musicianship. This was probably truer in the '70s heyday – and punk has come a long way since, spawning a raft of sub-genres.
We could list these, but perhaps the most telling fact is that pop-punk, post-punk, and more of those sub-genres are now all on their second or third revivals, with acts like Idles, Fontaines D.C., and Yungblud at the forefront today.
