Genesi e diffusione del punk, le contaminazioni che dal '77 in poi hanno ridefinito generi e costume, la macchia d'olio del DIY che ha valicato continenti e si è sedimentata nel tempo, diventando un'attitudine mentale più che un semplice genere musicale. Tra storiche star e nuove leve, Don Letts combina interviste recenti e rare vecchie performance in un lavoro enciclopedico: ci sono tutti? Forse no, ma quasi.

The genesis and spread of punk, the contaminations which since 1977 have redefined genres and habits, the wildfire spread of DIY which crossed continents and has become deposited in time, becoming a mental attitude rather than a mere musical genre. From historical stars and new generations, Don Letts combines recent interviews and rare vintage performances in an encyclopaedic work: are they all there? Maybe not, but almost.
