What is Punk rock?

Punk rock never died, yet it's often spoiled by nazi boneheads such as gg allin (gotta say he's one hardcore motherfucker though) who claim to be punk but really don't know shit cause punk started off fighting for peace NOT hate. To be "punk" all you have to do is...nothing. You don't take orders from "the man". "Punks" have many different beliefs and are very open minded...that's why nazis don't count. Punks don't judge before they listen. Contrary to popular beliefs, punks CARE. Punks aren't the lazy, careless sods society leads you to believe they are. Punks take action...may it be for animal liberation, anti-war, anti-racism, anti-capitalism, or all of them together.

Crass (listen to Working Class Rip Off if you're a gg fan), Subhumans, The Dead Kennedys, Oi Polloi, Rudimentary Peni, Conflict, Citizen Fish, True Sounds Of Liberty (T.S.O.L.), The Germs, The Exploited, Reagan Youth, Aus-Rotten, Keep Fighting, etc.

Punk rock - what is it?

Three chords and the truth.

Bad Religion, NOFX, Social Distortion, bands with a message more than "I'm sad, I'm gonna cut myself". That's punk rock.

What does "Punk rock" mean?

Not a style, not the music, not attitude but a way of life. Punk is anti-establishment, and always stands up for what it believes.

No-one is more punk than anyone else, if you turn it into a punkness competition then you aren't punk, plain and fucking simple, you're just a dicktard.

Punk Bands: The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, The Circle Jerks, Generation X, Iggy & the Stooges... many more. Look for it and listen.

Dicktard #1: Oh I'm so much more punk than you, I'm wearing a spiked belt!

Dicktard #2: No you're not, cos im wearing a spiked belt and I have red hair!

Real Punk: Fuck you, you stupid shits. Punk is about expression and idividuality and creativity, not being 'punker than thou'. Assholes.

Punk rock - meaning

a genre of music with lyrics attacking conventional society and popular culture. beautiful music to people who truly understand the message and care about the meaning.

You said politics don't concern me and that's just fine so sing along to the radio's love song and when they reinstate the draft you'll be the first to go you're 23 so when you're in Iraq staring into the eyes of the man who's the enemy with skud missles streaming over your head remember when you said "Politics don't concern me." -Suicide Machines

Punk rock - definition

A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'.

So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!

Punk rock - slang

Not giving a fuck about what is cool or not cool, what is punk rock or not punk rock, or what is acceptable or what isn't. Plain and simple: Punk is a state of mind. If you think you're a punk then you are. Who gives a fuck.

Punk: "I listen to pop punk and I dont give a shit if its cool or not"
Douche: "Ughhh. Punks aren't allowed to like any bands that aren't in the Punk Rock Approved Hand Booklet that we all get when we up our mohawks for the first time. What are you doing, you trendy mall-shopping fuck? BLAH BLAH UP THE PUNX"

Punk rock

Punk is some of the greatest music of all time in my opinion. Real punk consists of bands like Minor Threat, Civil Disobedience, Leftover Crack, Bad Brains, A Global Threat, and so much more. (Notice I didn't put the typical Ramones or Sex Pistols because 1. they're not even that great 2. they ain't got shit on most hardcore punk bands out there and 3. they're kind of overrated.) Anyone that wants to say bands like MXPX or Lagwagon (I usually call them pussy punk, but even calling them any kind of punk at all is just insulting to the real deals) are punk deserves to be shot in the back of the fucking head, seriously. Notice that bands like that have a simple band name probably with no meaning behind it and lyrics that appeal to kids 12 and under...douche bag pussies. Bands like Bad Religion and A Global Threat a great meaning behind the title as well as the lyrics that usually have to do with the fucked up society we live in today. People may tell me that punk is dead but you know what? Doesn't mean I still can't like it. AND a lot of old school punk bands are still making great music today, so FUCK YOU! =

Punks not dead, it just smells that way.
