A cultura punk e o underground: um estudo no cenário de duas cidades do interior paulista

Abstract

This essay is the result of the analysis of history fragments and Punk culture, as well as some artistic productions by the members of this movement, as zines and musics utilized by the Punks to defend their ideals and to establish its position before a hegemonic culture imposed on then. The productions analysed are the main sources of data for the fulfillment of this research, because the sources selected allow for an analysis considering the proximity between the Punk culture and the Underground scene from some similarities found during the research, as the influence of the Counterculture and the fight before the imposed standards. With the intention to elaborate a bibliographic review, considering the possible relations between the Punk movement and the Underground, being these elements present in most urban centers, this research is directed to two cities from São Paulo inland, Atibaia and Bragança Paulista, each one with its own culture and behavior. In this essay other movements besides the Punk are cited merely as comparative elements, because the Punk movement, its Underground component allies and all it's set of practices and actions, provide the minimally necessary data for the analysis of the proximity between the Punk culture and the Underground.
