The Beatles were the most famous British pop group of all time. Punks Punks appeared in the 1970s and were against money. Many teenagers blamed the society of unemployment and hard life. They expressed negative feelings and a new youth culture started up. They were full of hate and aggression. They listened to punk rock, which was loud, often violent music. Punks wore black leather jackets, ripped Tshirts, put safety pins through their ears and noses and often had strange spiky brightly coloured hairstyles.
