Read the following description , which compares two musical styles . What is the main difference between these styles ? Punk Rock and New Age music are two very different musical styles . Punk Rock came onto the music scene in the 1 970 s with a very loud and aggressive musical style . Groups such as The Clash and the Ramones shouted out angry lyrics , often about politics or issues such as poverty and crime . Punk musicians pounded on electric guitars and drums . Punk fashion was just as shocking — shaved heads , tight leather pants , ripped shirts and piercing . Today , Punk Rock is less popular than it was in the 1 970 s and 1 980 s . In contrast to the anger of Punk Rock , New Age music is relaxing . This kind of music is very popular in the United States , where many people are looking for a way to escape everyday stress . Instruments such as acoustic piano , guitar and synthesizer produce a dreamy , relaxing sound . Popular New Age musicians include Enya and Yanni . Some New Age music is romantic and other forms just make you feel happy .
