When the prescient view of modernism, that all problems would be solved under the guidance of reason and science, failed to materialise, this situation paved the way for the emergence of the postmodern movement and major narratives have been collapsed in areas such as art, economics, politics, and so on. Thus the ideas that were the result of Enlightenment thought were questioned one by one and the opposite views were put forward, and individuals had characteristics that reflected postmodernism in their lives. With the help of such behavioural patterns, perhaps some escape and relief has been achieved. As a result of escaping the pressures of social life, some cultures and their sub-types have begun to form. Postmodern identities, which we can think of as identity types that adopt these cultures and subtypes, have emerged. One of them is the Punk view that emerged in the 1970s. This study discusses the reflection of Punk culture, the formation of postmodern identities in general through the character of Oktay in the mini-series Uysallar, and analyses the characters affected by the return of social life using sociological methods of film analysis. As a result of the analysis, it has been found that the series reflects the views of the Punk movement and its elements, and critically deals with the negativities that the 'absolute truth' philosophy of the modernist view has brought to individual and social life.
