In the face of police violence, Rodrigo Cilirio, founder of the punk band Repressão Social, expresses his rage against the ongoing urban violence, police brutality, and discrimination in Brazil's largest cities. Punk culture in Brazil is thriving, a response to the frustrations of unemployment, urban violence, police brutality, and deprivation. Fifty years after punk's emergence, the movement continues globally, with the global south embracing punk culture as a way to respond to their own contexts. The DIY culture of punk allows it to adapt to local musical traditions, with influences from Colombian, Mexican, and Guatemalan music.
