This anniversary edition of No Future marks fifty years since punk emerged as a fashion, a musical form, an attitude and an aesthetic. Matthew Worley's definitive account reveals how punk not only reflected but directly impacted social and political history through its unique ability to provoke, disrupt and subvert.
'No Feelings', 'No Fun', 'No Future'. The years 1976 to 1984 saw punk emerge and evolve as a fashion, a musical form, an attitude and an aesthetic. Against a backdrop of social fragmentation, violence, high unemployment and socio-economic change, punk rejuvenated and re-energised British youth culture, inserting marginal voices and political ideas into pop. Rejecting both tired clichés and nostalgic myths, Matthew Worley provides the definitive account of how punk was constructed and utilised from the ground up. He takes youth culture seriously as a way of understanding history, demonstrating how punk not only reflected but directly impacted social and political history through its unique ability to provoke, disrupt and subvert. This revised and updated edition marks fifty years since the birth of punk and includes a new foreword from acclaimed music journalist, Paul Morley. It remains the foremost history of British punk.

Matthew Worley is Professor of Modern History at the University of Reading. He has written widely on punk-related cultures in various journals and is the author of Zerox Machine: Punk, Post-Punk and Fanzines in Britain, 1976–88 (2024).
