Poetry Tuesday: Punk Rock Selection

For this week's Poetry Tuesday, I am publishing five Youtube videos of hardcore punk rock songs.  The hardcore punk movement progressively swept through America in the 1980s.  From California to New York, youths expressed their frustrations with the government, alcohol, drugs, and life in general.  The musical structure to hardcore may not be appealing, but it certainly is hard, fast, and loud.

1. Black Flag- Rise Above

2. Minor Threat- Guilty of Being White

3. Negative FX

4. Bad Brains- Banned In DC

5. Dead Kennedys- California Uber Alles
