ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes the punk is always a rebirth rather than a pure origin: whether ostentatious originality is desired or resisted, the trace always already involves supplementarity, to put this in Derridean terms. It shows all punk music is post-punk in the sense that no point of pure origin can be found certainly not in the case of the nominator punk, which has no known single etymological root. It focuses on punk's general desire for self-presentation through ostentatious unfamiliarity. The book focuses on newness: anarcho-punk as a rebirth of punk, cutie as a new fruition and riot grrrl as the scene which reinvented punk. Every wave of punk seems to appear as a time out of joint, we might say after Derrida, in which the moment is more important than the diachrony of what had been before or what might come after.
