The day was established to celebrate the history of punk rock. It honors a remarkable and powerful counterculture movement that has significantly transformed rock music and influenced the global music scene. Punk For A Day revolves around the punk subculture, including punk rock music, its ideologies, fashion, and various forms of expression such as visual art, dance, film, and literature.
