History & Background
Iceland's punk scene emerged early 1980s when young musicians rejected mainstream pop and created raw, experimental music. Key bands: Þeyr (art-punk), Kukl (featuring Björk, Einar Örn), Purrkur Pillnikk (hardcore). The scene was tiny but influential — punk's DIY ethos and experimental spirit shaped Iceland's broader music culture. Museum opened 2016 in former public toilet to preserve the history.
