Though there was no solution by creating genres such as Punk rock (THe Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols), the bands were able to incite the youth with rage from their lyrics and general concert appearances. Music was the counter-culture to past, Punk and other prototype generes such as ska, and reggae stood as anti-establishment. Which began in the 1960s, "Swinging Sixties" where old culture values were abandoned and new ones were adopted.

Once the 60s had ended the transition of the anti-establishment had gone into the 1970s with the formation of punk rock, except the music was a little different. Though many of the Clash is early music had chord riffs and drew much influence from the Beatles, and the New York Dolls. Even though many of the bands were rising up against elite pop bands.
