Art Punk is a subgenre of punk music that combines the raw energy and attitude of punk with more experimental and artistic elements. It is distinguished by the use of discordant sounds, alternative song structures, and original lyrical themes. Artists often draw inspiration from different genres of music such as avant-garde, new wave, and post-punk, and do not hesitate to explore intellectual and social issues. Art Punk challenges listeners to transcend traditional perceptions of punk music.
