A richly illustrated catalogue charting the electrifying journey of underground musical subcultures of the 1970s as they crashed into the mainstream and reinvented the sound, style, and spirit of modern culture

Punk to Pop: 72 to 85 examines how the creative dynamism of 1970s music scenes moved from the margins to the mainstream. Taking boundary-pushing glam pioneers as its starting point, it moves on to explore how the DIY spirit of punk and 2 Tone, the propulsive beats of disco, the obsessive fandom of northern soul, the bleak atmospherics of goth, and the flamboyant self-styling of the New Romantics fed a burgeoning artistic ecosystem. Transformed through cutting-edge graphic design, innovative music videos, trailblazing boutiques, style-focused magazines, and profound shifts in technologies and politics, this period of intense exchange between the radical underground and global pop has had a profound impact on how we experience culture today.
