Abstract
The founding ideologies that first thrusted punk onto the world are often identified as inclusivity, resistance and its challenge to, and transformation of, the established order. Over its 40-year history, punk ‘inclusivity’ has been continually undermined and reframed with the genre’s expansion, corporatization and absorption into the mainstream. In particular, punk’s feminist history is often modulated and overridden by masculine identities, prompting the emergence of punk artists (e.g. queer-core) that reclaim punk as a safe, inclusive and progressive space defined by individual liberty. This chapter briefly chronicles the feminist history of punk before examining its recent reignition as a counter-normative framework and aesthetic in support of non-normative gender identities.
