Chicano punk is a branch of Chicano rock with bands like [[The Zeros (American band)|The Zeros]], [[Stains (Los Angeles band)|The Stains]], [[The Plugz]], [[Bags (Los Angeles band)|The Bags]], [[Thee Undertakers]], [[Nervous Gender]], [[The Brat (band)|The Brat]], [[The Gun Club]], [[Los Illegals]], Los Angelinos, Felix and the Katz, Odd Squad, Union 13, and [[Cruzados|The Cruzados]] coming out of the punk scene in [[Los Angeles]]. The rock band [[? and the Mysterians]], made up of Hispanic American musicians from Bay City and Saginaw, Michigan, was the first band to be described as "punk rock." The term punk rock was reportedly coined in 1971 by rock critic Dave Marsh in a review of their show for ''[[Creem]]'' magazine.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2003-11-13 |title=The revolution that saved rock |work=CNN |url=http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/11/13/punk.box/index.html |access-date=2010-04-28}}</ref>
Recent Chicano punk bands include Rayos X, [[Tuberculosis]], [[Mata Mata]], Mugre, Venganza and Asko from southern California, [[La Grita]] and [[La Plebe]] from Northern California, as well as [[Los Crudos]] from Chicago.

In 1992 [[Mia Zapata]] and her punk rock group [[The Gits]] released ''Frenching the Bully'', their first album, on C/Z Records. The group members met one another and formed the band in [[Yellow Springs, Ohio]] during the mid-1980s. Their music quickly became popular throughout the area and on the [[Antioch College]] campus. Band member Moriarty describes punk rock as a combination of emotion, temperament, rage and music.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}} The Gits moved from Ohio to San Francisco and finally to Seattle, but not because of the up-and-coming music scene. Moriarty explains that "the idea was to just go up and pour your guts out" and to play their music and express their emotion. The group dissolved after Mia Zapata was murdered on July 7, 1993 by Jesus Mezquia. The remaining members went on to team up with [[Joan Jett]] to issue the album Zapata's death had interrupted. Proceeds from the album, titled Evil Stig (Gits Live spelled backwards) went to fund an investigator into Zapata's death, which had become a cold case.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Whitney Seibold |date=2016-10-08 |title=The Time Rocker Joan Jett Helped Apprehend a Killer |url=http://www.blumhouse.com/2016/08/08/the-time-rocker-joan-jett-helped-apprehend-a-killer/ |publisher=Blumhouse.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Raha |first=Maria |title=Look Right Through Me. |work=Cinderella's Big Score: Women of the Punk and Indie Underground |publisher=Seal |year=2005 |isbn=978-1580051163 |location=Emeryville, CA |pages=165–69}}</ref>

Many [[Chicana]]s became "{{lang|es-mx|Punkeras}}" and have contributed to the artistic conditions of production, gender relations, and the punk aesthetic that existed in the late 1970s and 1980s. The [[DIY ethic|D-I-Y sensibility]]  at the core of punk musical subcultures found resonance with the practice of [[rasquache]], a Chicano cultural practice of "making do" with limited resources. In fact, young Chicanas had historically been at the forefront of formulating stylized social statements via the fashion and youth subculture, beginning with the [[Pachuco]]s and continuing with Chicana [[Mod revival|Mods]] in the 1960s. Punk's critique of the status quo, poverty, sexuality, class inequalities, and war spoke directly to working class East Los Angeles youth.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Habell-Pallan |first=Michelle |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xS7uAAAAMAAJ |title=Loca Motion: The Travels of Chicana/Latina Popular Culture |publisher=NYU Press |year=2005 |isbn=9780814736623}}</ref>

[[Alice Bag]] is an example of a {{lang|es-mx|punkera}} that typifies the punk scene of the late 1970s. Born as Alicia Armendariz, she went by Alice Bag (also Alice Phallus, and Alice Douchbag) as her stage name. Armendariz's Chicana experience influenced her music career as projected her unrelenting emotions through punk music. Her music reflects an accumulated rage evolved from being made fun of for not speaking proper English and having to witness domestic violence at a young age.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite book |last=Seggel |first=Heather |title=Violence Girl: East L.A.
