The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas pays tribute to the history of one of the most important musical movements of the last 50 years.
A punk rock museum might seem like an oxymoron, like a total abdication of what “punk rock” is supposed to mean and signify. The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas makes perfect sense, though. Nobody venerates punk rock as much as old white guys, and nobody loves building monuments to their interests more than old white guys. I don’t say that as a criticism: I am an old white guy myself.
The meaning of “punk”, of course, has been debated for decades. It can be a highly regionalized thing, with people preferring their own scene over any other, and there’s a solid chance your local heroes won’t be represented in this place. There’s also an eternal schism between punk as a musical style and punk as a philosophy; some believe punk rock has to sound a certain way, while others believe it’s not about the sound but how a band thinks and acts.
A lot of that comes down to personal preference, obviously. But by excluding later bands and scenes that maintained punk’s spirit but not necessarily its most obvious sound does a disservice to the culture of punk. It makes it seem like punk became stagnant once bands like Green Day and Blink-182 took pop-punk to arenas, with similarly massive bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy presented as the most important punk of the ‘00s.
