Ongoing processes of punk reinvention and renewal, we argue, taking places in locations such as China, demonstrate that punk both endures and yet is endlessly made and remade in so far as its key themes and practices recur in cultural contexts unimagined by early punks. Punk, we argue, can be understood as a set of durable cultural practices and tools for resistance that are applicable in other cultural contexts with no diminution of their authenticity. Our argument is that while punk has often been defined through reference to its origin moments in the US and UK, the adoption of punk practices of ‘resistance’ and do-it-yourself culture making in other national contexts deserve further attention. In this article, we seek to supplement the literature on the transnational lives of punk through a comparative analysis of punk lyrics in early US and UK punk and recent Chinese punk. A recent resurgence of scholarly interest in punk includes nine monographs and edited collections ( Ambrosch, 2018 Bernhard, 2019 Bestley et al., 2021 Dines et al., 2017 Dunn, 2016 Patton, 2018 Smith et al., 2017 Worley, 2017 Xiao, 2018) and a growing body of work focused on the ongoing lives of punk in places such as Portugal ( Guerra, 2014, 2018 Guerra & Bennett, 2015 Guerra & Santos Silva, 2015 Santos Silva & Guerra, 2017), Brazil ( Guerra & Gomes, 2017), Canada ( Fauteux, 2017 O’Connor, 2002), China ( Field & Groenewegen, 2008 Xiao, 2016, 2017a, 2017b, 2018 Xiao & Stanyer, 2017), Malaysia ( Mura & Yuen, 2019) and Indonesia ( Baulch, 2007 Donaghey, 2021 Dunn, 2016 S. This continued interest in punk, even rebirth, is reflected in the scholarship.
Yet despite anxieties about its possible death, punk has experienced a perhaps surprising afterlife, not only in the US and UK where the punk ethos of the 1970s remains influential but in places such as China, Indonesia, Portugal and Brazil ( Bennett, 2006). The claim that ‘punk is not dead’ has long been a persistent trope in punk discourse ( Davies, 1996).
