The photographer who captured the early years of New York’s punk explosion
www.huckmag.com: American photographer Gary Green first picked up the camera as a youth coming of age in suburban Long Island during the late 1960s. “My parents thought it was another thing I’d give up like the saxophone and other hobbies that languished after a year or two,” he recalls. But, to his parent’s surprise, his interest in photography steadily grew into a career.

I really enjoyed looking at all those pictures. In these days, punk really that big of a deal. But today, it is one of the most recognizable genres. It is great to see all this historical photographs and what the punk scene was like in the early years. Although it might have started in New York, Pittsburgh is actually the current center of the punk scene. A lot of punk bands were either made in Pittsburgh or they travel there to preform. It is probably one of the best things about Pittsburgh. I hope that this continues after the pandemic. A lot of people think that the genre ‘mid west emo’ (that’s actually a genre of music) is punk but that’s not true. It doesn’t have quite the same aggression that punk has. Mid west emo is just more depressed music. Mid west emo is super cool though I recommend that everyone listen to it.
