Anarcho-Punk is one of the main subcultures within the punk movement, defined by a shared ideology of anarchism and a commitment to direct political action. Emerging in the late 1970s in the United Kingdom, the movement was pioneered by bands like Crass, who combined aggressive punk rock with explicitly anarchist and pacifist messaging. The subculture is characterized by a strong Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethos, which manifests in self-published zines, independent record labels, and a distinct fashion style that often involves modifying clothing with hand-painted slogans, patches, and political symbols.

Visually, the aesthetic is typically stark and utilitarian, favoring a black-and-white or black-and-red color palette to emphasize its serious political intent, setting it apart from the more colorful and nihilistic stylings of other punk factions.
