Aesthetic vs ethos

I wanted to look at the aesthetic of punk compared to the ethos and is the two overlap at any point. By creating a album sleeve for a pop indie band who want a contemporary twist on the punk aesthetic, the band however would not stand for anything and simple be capitalizing on the style. This would then be compared to an actvist artist who is really trying to say something about society, this would possible be a hip hop artist to show punk is more than just a music style, its a about yours views and making them views know to try and provoke change. The style for this would be very minimal to simple contrast well against punks loud postmodern aesthetic. I would then test this on people to see what there responds is which they would call punk. and which they would call provokative or purposeful design. This would answer the question is punk seem as a style now or and ethos, which would help understand the legacy of punk in contemporary society.
