Gunk Rock

Gunk Rock (Garbage Punk)
First used by Lil Darkie, Eddison and Fl.vco aka Mesq in 2018/19 as the name for their band.
Darkie said the reason they use the word gunk, is because the music they would make in the band was "garbage punk" or "garbage punk rock"

They said that they that felt that the punk movement was kind of dead, and that you can't really do punk anymore because "to be punk, you have to be different" and they felt punk had become to much of a trend and almost like its own genre, which was kind of the opposite of what punk was supposed to be.

Darkie said that when he was with his band members there was a different energy, and that they were just kind of "trash people" and he said that he felt that you couldn't find that kind of energy anywhere else, so they wanted to capture it.

Darkie also said that compared to the other music he would make with others, there was no expectation for any amount of thought to go into the music. He said that "when were together, were just kinda trash people that make music, and it's just very fun to go to the park and just yell non English into the microphone.

Overall, Gunk Rock is just a special type of music, derived from three people who all agreed that punk was dead and there was time for something new, and instead of trying to fit some pre made mold, they created their own thing...
