About This Quiz

Music can be a lot of things. It can be the reason you go to a club to see a band perform, something to sing along to in the car or something to throw on in the background while we do chores, but it can also have a positive and deep meaning and promote social change. The best example of this is punk music. Born out of the ashes of rock music and folks who were tired of being pushed around by their government and society, punk music has gone through many incarnations over the decades, but a few key elements have remained intact. The music is loud, fast and fun. If you think you know a lot about punk music, test your knowledge with this fun and interesting quiz!
