A detailed chronicle of punk’s defining rupture

Jon Savage centers punk’s emergence on the Sex Pistols’ swift ascent and collapse, while placing the band among the movement’s precursors and wider cultural aftermath in England and the United States. Drawing on interviews, detailed documentation, and photographs, the book treats punk as both a musical phenomenon and a volatile historical moment. This revised edition extends the original account to consider punk’s legacy twenty-five years later, incorporates the Pistols’ 1996 reunion, and adds a new introduction and updated discography. At 632 pages, it is structured as an expansive reference-minded history as well as a band-focused narrative.
