Punk has transformed and grown as new generations have emerged but stayed true to its 1970s roots. Bands such as Pierce the Veil, Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon, and Spiritbox have gained popularity spanning from 2010 to now. They have shaped and created the many sub-genres now beneath the punk umbrella. Today’s punk scene is experimental, inclusive, innovative, and paving the way for future decades.

The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack has served its purpose: To enhance the films' nostalgia, connections among characters, connections between characters and audience, sense of adventure, and humor.
