Reflection

I still have quite a few blogs to make up (and paper 3 to finish😔🙃) so look out for more content from DJ ogre nailz, but, for now, I shall reflect on the semester thus far.

It’s been a blast writing about punk this in-depth! When I first began researching punk, I was worried that I would struggle to find scholarly but not square articles about the movement. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there would be no such issue. If anything, I was overwhelmed by the many different paths that my research could take. Hairstyles, clothing, music, dancing, publicity, scandal — it was hard to choose just a couple to focus on.

I will likely focus my upcoming blog posts on profiling interesting people and aspects of the movement that I think are interesting. I can go on and on for ages about why punk matters and should intrigue folks . . . or I could just showcase why I care in the first place. It’s been cool to research and analyze the nitty-gritty details of punk but I don’t want to lose sight of the music and the attitude that make the genre what it is.

So yeah! Stay tuned for those posts over the coming days—maybe I’ll even throw a playlist or some song recs in there :)
