D-beat is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in the UK in the late 1970s. It is characterized by its fast, aggressive drum beats and distorted guitar riffs. The lyrics often focus on political and social issues, with an emphasis on anti-authoritarianism and anti-war sentiments. D-beat bands often incorporate elements of hardcore punk and metal into their sound, resulting in a raw and intense style of music. Discharge, Doom, and Anti Cimex are all influential bands within the d-beat genre.
