Punk Ain't Dead
This chaotic mixed-media collage captures punk's complete arc: from underground rebellion to mainstream commodity to authentic survival. The fragmented imagery reflects punk's paradox - simultaneously co-opted by corporate interests yet impossible to truly kill. The overlapping portraits and distressed textures mirror how the movement was sanitized for mass consumption while its core DNA of anti-establishment fury and DIY ethics continued evolving underground. The "PUNK AIN'T DEAD" declaration isn't nostalgia but reality - today's punk spirit lives in bedroom producers, independent artists, and anyone creating without permission or compromise. This piece celebrates punk's greatest victory: proving that authentic rebellion constantly reinvents itself, surviving not through reunion tours or fashion trends but by mutating into whatever form each generation needs to express their defiance.
