Gypsy punk

One of the first rock groups to incorporate elements of punk and Roma music was Boiled in Lead, which was founded in 1983 and is still active today.

The Romani people, who are spread out throughout the world, have affected the music industry in the west as seen through bands such as Gogol Bordello.

[3] "The word 'gypsy' coupled with the term 'punk' has interesting implications in that punk encapsulates a particular mode of rebellion, anarchy, and resistance in a Western context", which is good to note since at the time Gogol Bordello and other bands were introducing this genre, "the punk movement became identified in mass culture as the definitive statement of the annihilation of musical and societal norms, collectively rejecting the rules of the past because of the bleak and hypocritical present and future they provided".

[4] This is to say that the Roma that have settled down in the west have taken elements from "Romani music in a style that is indebted to Western punk".

[5] The Romani, through their ties with the western punk influence, have created music that allows those who play to express themselves and forge an identity.
