Punks Not Dead is the first studio album by the Scottish
punk rock band The Exploited, released in April 1981.
Working class and loyal to the first impulses of the 1970s
punk movement, the album was a reaction to critics who believed the
punk rock genre was dead and went against popular trends such as new wave and post-
punk. Today, the slogan is widely used by the
punk scene as a rallying cry stating that the
punk culture is still alive.
