Discussion Questions Punk is angry music, and it is the most effective when the anger is directed at some particular issue, person, or practice. Could a positive message, a religious one, for example, be delivered in a punk style and be taken seriously? What about new wave, which is generally fairly alienated from emotion? Could it express a positive message effectively? 16-16
