Punk interior
Punk is an anti-rock music force that rose in1970s, and punk is translated as "punk" in Chinese mainland. Translated as "punk" in Taiwan Province province, it is called "crash" in Hongkong. In the west, punk means (slang) hooligans, trash, prostitutes, child molesters, inferior people and so on. Although its meaning has changed to some extent now. It has been 25 years since Leg McNeil first founded punk magazine in 1975, and then sex pistols made this music a trend. To understand the influence of punk on the world and indoor space, we must first understand the significance and development of punk.
/kloc-Britain in the 0/970s
The word punk is called by the British. At that time, the British economy was depressed and the post-war unemployment rate was high. At that time, the vigorous development of Hollywood movies in the United States indirectly led to the sharp decline of the British film industry. In terms of music industry, Britain is also in a downturn. Progressive poetic rock music, ten-minute solo, is very popular in the United States, and the music pays great attention to technical expression. At that time, rock music gradually commercialized and became the mainstream ground commodity. At that time, the representatives of progressive rock and roll were YES, GENESIS and KING CRIMSON… In fact, since the 1960s, rock and roll has gradually entered a sad situation. For the sake of commercial interests, bands and musicians are increasingly lacking the sensitivity and complaints that rock music should have.
The overwhelming force of "collapse"
Label-1975 The "sex pistol" signed by Virgin Records is the starting point of punk. Their album God Save the Queen boldly sealed the Queen's mouth with the seal of "sex pistol". This bold style is unprecedented (and a British band, the Japanese team, also blew up the pretty image of Mao Zedong in the post-New The Romantic Period music video). They completely vented their resentment, which is an accusation against the future and society. This is the birth of punk.
For a time, punk became a craze, because punk belongs to popular culture, which is easy to be recognized (based on British social problems) and gives people a way to vent; At that time, Samuel Hui's song "Half a catty and eight taels" was also influenced by punk culture, showing the universality and compatibility of punk (don't you know that "Half a catty and eight taels" sold to a full house? )
Trichord music
Punk is a deformed product of unbalanced compression between material and desire, ideal and environment, and sensitivity to material is an important concept of punk. They make you feel irritable, aggressive and dissatisfied with everything, so most punk music involves sex, drugs and violence.
The punk of "Sanhe string theory" is an extremely democratic rock; Trichord means that A Mu's songs are composed of only three chords (chords), and they express what they want to say directly, forcefully and nakedly without any modification. Punk has no long speech, only 2-3 minutes, which is completely contrary to the mainstream of that year.
Because of the simplicity and popularity of punk music, many punk bands play their first notes in the streets, cars and warehouses. Music is no longer a profound knowledge, because punk's participation is very strong, which makes punk music popular and has a positive role in promoting rock music.
The evolution of punk
Although punk is so negative and extreme, it has finally written an important page in the world art history. The appearance of punk not only affects the music world, but also affects fashion, plane images, videos and interior decoration. The writer Malcolm Mclarer said, "If punk was only about music, it would have died long ago", "Punk is the most important event in postwar Britain." Punk may also give a little translation to ambiguous postmodernism.
Punk has developed so widely that we may not even realize it. It has become a performance art, an idea and even a life. In graphic design, the album cover of "Sex Pistol" triggered an upsurge of "parallel pasting". Poster magazines of that year were all typeset in this way, which had a great influence on the design industry in the future.
In fashion design, it is possible for everyone? Nbsp Everyone who knows punk head is a punk friend, which is very wrong! In fact, the trend of punk must have been experienced by young people in the 1980s. At that time, Anita Mui's whole costume was influenced by punk LOOK. People think that Miss Mei is leading the trend, but in fact, she is following the trend! Punk LOOK is often a form of rebellion. In the 1980s, a boy named Gell had his hair curled up, and a pair of narrow jeans, a white shirt without buttons and a walkman with headphones on his waist had become a punk. It's a pity that Hong Kong people only learn to watch, but their headphones listen to Chinese pop songs! ! )
"Collapse" space
After we know the history of punk's name, we already know it to some extent. The meaning of punk has entered the indoor space as I said before. In addition to rebellion and dissatisfaction, punk also created a concise and powerful artistic definition. Punk triad travels all over the world, which is an inspiration for interior designers.
"Simplicity" and "power" have been heard a lot in the design field from generation to generation, but have you ever thought that this is the concept of punk? Explained by music, punk has no "decorative sound", but consists of three major chords (major) without profound skills. Putting these principles into indoor space is simply to form a space with primitive elements such as points, lines and planes, just like the "LOFT" design pattern in space, which is a by-product of punk; Compared with the decorative arts from the pre-war to the 1960' s, even the open space during the art & craft period was full of decorations, such as carved tables and chairs, gorgeous chandeliers and exquisite carpets. It's like the progressive poetry and rock music in the 1960s, which is full of decorative syllables, uses thousands of chords and pays great attention to technical expression. Is this a clear comparison?
Punk interior design is mainly in the simplest form (modeling), such as columns, rectangles, etc., with few colors. Simplicity is power. Because of this, punk interior is not easy to feel, because it has no strong design elements. People often use the word "simplicity" as a shield, but never think that "simplicity" is a member of art history, not others. In modern life, there are many brands with punk as design elements around us, such as IKEA and MUJI. If we pay more attention to the things around us on weekdays, we will find more punk footprints, because we simply live in the punk era.
