Read the text below. Match the titles (A—G) with the passages (1—5). There're two extra titles you don't need to use. 1) B. History of Punk Culture. The punk subculture appeared in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa in the 1970s, and has changed a lot since that time. 2) G. Music. The punk subculture is associated with a loud, aggressive style of rock music. Punk rock was born as a garage rock. Most punk rockers use guitars and noisy drumming. 3) E. Fashion. Punks try to shock people with the highly theatrical use of their outfit: ripped clothing is held together by pins or wrapped with tape; clothing is usually decorated with a marker or with paint; a black basket liner becomes a dress, shirt or skirt; pins and razor blades are used as jewellery. 4) C. Hairstyles. Some punks have spiky hair of unnatural colour and a hairstyle which consists of shaving both sides of the head, or other horrific shapes. 5) A. Dance. The punk subculture has developed a variety of dancing styles, some of which seem to be chaotic and violent.
