The anthology 'Attack on the Land of Milk and Honey' gives around 100 different answers to this question - with one thing in common: for the authors, punk is still not just any music genre among many, even after half a century. Some look back on their own youth with a melancholic look, for others punk is still very much alive. In the collected texts, the music is past, present and future. Punk functions as a musical turmoil, rupture and drive. It comes across as a squat, DIY label and fanzine mailorder, can be theory or practice, introduction to feminism, anarchism and critical theory, art and anti-art, dead and still alive. There is only one thing he is never boring.

While 'Attack on the Land of Milk and Honey' is dedicated to German-language punk history, the volume 'Bored Teenagers' is released at the same time, in which central songs of global punk history are highlighted.
