excerpt:
#Punkrock’s rebellious anger aimed at the forces of #economic and #political #oppression and its #lofi, #DIY aesthetic are among the reasons the genre took hold with some #Indigenous musicians. It’s a connection that continues to resonate with both players and audiences. Kristen Martinez (#Yaqui and #Mexican) is both a #punk performer and a graduate student researching the #history of the Indigenous contributions to the legacy of punk, one short, loud, and angry song at a time.
