Since first emerging in New York City in the 1970s, hip hop has grown to encompass an entire lifestyle. There are four fundamental elements in hip hop: 1) Breakdance and various forms of street dance, 2) Urban inspired art, often as graffiti, 3) DJing, beats and beatmaking, and hip hop production, 4) MCing and urban inspired poetry.
Punk ideology is concerned with the individual's intrinsic right to freedom, and a less restricted lifestyle. Punk ethics espouse the role of personal choice in the development of, and pursuit of, greater freedom. Common punk ethics include a radical rejection of conformity, the DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic, direct action for political change, and not selling out to mainstream interests for personal gain.
