Punk emerged in the mid-1970s as a deliberate break from overproduced rock, and its visual culture was just as confrontational as the music. Show posters and zine art became the movement's graphic language, built on photocopied collage, hand-lettering, and a rejection of polish that turned out to be its own kind of craft. That tradition carried into the screen-printed gig poster revival of the 1990s and 2000s, when artists brought technical precision back to a format punk had made raw. The period originals here come from across that lineage.
