#Abstract
This article traces concepts of authenticity and social ethics of punk rock communities in Detroit from the origins of punk to the 1990s Garage scene. Comparing Detroit with other American punk scenes, I sketch the social context as well as ideas of what it meant to be punk and make punk music. I then show how these influenced, and were influenced by, the politics and demographics of punk musicians and fans. Using oral history, fanzines, and documentaries, I argue that that independent punk rock musicians and fans were motivated by a sometimes-contradictory politics of aesthetic and economic, sonic and political, authenticity. This made punk communities, and Detroit specifically, vulnerable to social conflicts, exclusiveness, and violence in the 1980s, but ultimately pushed punks to create alternative culture producing systems and spaces that were nonexploitative, socially and musically progressive, and sustainable.
