David Markey is a filmmaker, musician, and photographer best known for documenting the Southern California punk scene of the 1980s and 1990s. His seminal film “1991: The Year Punk Broke” captured the moment alternative rock was on the cusp of mainstream explosion, featuring bands like Sonic Youth and Nirvana. Through his DIY ethos, Markey has chronicled subculture from the inside—raw, immediate, and unsanitized. His work preserves punk not as nostalgia but as lived, chaotic reality, bridging visual art, music, and underground history. Markey remains a vital archivist of an unruly and electric cultural moment.
