Boston punk music is a subgenre of punk rock that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. It is characterized by its fast-paced, aggressive sound and politically charged lyrics. The genre gained popularity in the 1990s with bands like Dropkick Murphys, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Street Dogs, who incorporated elements of Celtic music and ska into their sound. Boston punk music is known for its energetic live performances and its strong sense of community and activism.
