Discover DC’s often overlooked but influential punk scene. During the 1980s, as the Reagan Administration reinstated the Selective Service, and hippies were becoming yuppies, the punk movement emerged as a response to what was seen as a soulless government. While punk is typically linked to London, New York, and LA, DC had a significant scene centered in the Gallery Place neighborhood and other areas. On this tour, you’ll learn what set DC’s punk culture apart, the key figures in the scene, and its enduring impact on the local music landscape today. The tour concludes at the MLK Jr. Library, home to DC’s Punk Archive.
