Résumé

This article concentrates on punk rock – the music genre – rather than punk as a youth subculture, and argues that the style of punk rock that developed in Northern Ireland during the first wave of punk – from 1976 to the end of the decade – was partly influenced by pop music and particularly the aesthetics associated with the American myth of the teenager. The article thus focuses on music groups rather than on the practises of individuals.
