What is street punk?

A form of harder, faster, more angry type of punk music. Street punk derived from "the streets" (hence the name)Usually working class or poor, street punks know how life is out on the street and are aware of the world around them.

Though the roots are not exactly known, most street punk music began in the UK with "The Spirit of '77" and "UK '82", which is a name for the eras of street punk.

Street punks usually have the most colorful of outfits, out of all forms of punk. Usually street punks wear leather jackets or denim jackets with studs and band logos or beliefs either painted or sewn on. Street punks also usually wear plaid pants, or tight stretch jeans, along with boots like doc martens. "Mohawks" and "Liberty Spikes" are among the many hair styles worn, as well as hair dyed radical colours.

Street punks may have a "tough" image, but most are the nicest people you'll ever meet. Usually the most accepting also.

Though their image is the main thing that sets them apart, Street punk is more about unity, acceptance, diversity, and fighting for what you believe in, regardless of the consequences.

What does "street punk" mean?

street punk is a form of music for those who are working class or poor. those who dont fit in that catagory cannot relate to a street punks lyrics because they are not part of that lifestyle. street punks are usually alcoholics who drown lifes injustices with beer almost every day. drug use is most common aswell. the appearance of a street punk is deceiving, you may think that they look mean or stupid but in reality they are some of the nicest people who want the same things to happen in the world as any other decent human wants such as fair justice, unity and peace without war. they usually wear tight pants, leather jackets and boots. people think that punks are ignorent but its the opposite, when a punk walks by and hears a group of people call him a fag or freak this is ignorant not what the punk does in response to this. most punks dislike other punks they dont know (its ignorant and unexplainable)*PEOPLE WHO GO TO SCHOOL AND LIVE WITH THERE PARENTS DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT STREET PUNK*its also common for street punk groups to sell out their roots at some point in their career contradicting what they once sang about.

Street punk - meaning

Street punk is the strongest form of punk today. Bands like The Unseen, A Global Threat, The Casualties, Cheap Sex, and Lower Class Brats play street punk. Street punk music is DIY, loud, fast, offensive, and often talks about the Street Punk scene, politics, or violence. Street punks tend to hate bands such as AFI, Greenday, and all those other non-DIY bands. The lifestyle of street punks is layed back, fun, and strong. Street punks tend to drink a lot of beer, except some. Street punks are also divided, slightly. Street punks tend to be the nicest and most accepting of the subsubcultures, as long as you conform with the most important issues. Street punks tend to dislike the other "punks." Street punks live punk to it's fullest, and believe in every aspect of old-school punk. Street punks often hate pop-punks (Sum41), skate "punks," (Greenday) modern-horror-punks (AFI) often because their music and conformity is different than what punk is supposed to be. (Sorry kids, but AFI isn't DIY, 3-chord, fast, and loud like punk is supposed to be...)

Street punks tend to wear Docs, hair, leather, plaid, bondage pants, patches, and other stuff like that. Although, if you ask any street punk they'll tell you that the clothes don't make them punk, the clothes are simply a sign that attracts unity and detracts unwanted people.

Street punk is: The Unseen, A Global Threat, The Casualties, Cheap Sex, and Lower Class Brats

Our lifestyle is: Sometimes drunk, layed back, fast, young

Street punk - definition

Street punk is loud, fast, obnoxious, rude, angry, aggressive, and violent music. It's represented by a scene of kids who refuse to change or grow up. the fashion usually consists of denim/leather vests/jackets, studs, spikes,pins, patches, painted bands, boots, tight pants, camo pants, plaids or anything else that can appear absolutely absord. Hair styles can range anywhere from a blue mohawk, a bleached charge, a rainbow tri-hawk, or pretty much anything else that stands out. Street punks aren't pussy emo fags who whine all the time or cry when the government makes a decision. Their more concerned about going to the shows and getting drunk. Unity, staying young and usually a general hatred for normal society, rules, conformity and the expected life are key ideas related to this scene. Street punks will always stand up for themselves and their buddies, no matter the consequences (i.e. getting beat down by 40 kids or serving 5 years in jail).

Defiance, Oxymoron, Clit 45, Blanks 77, Cheap Sex, A global threat, the unseen, lower class brats, monster squad, action, are all street punk bands.

(kid and 10 friends approach a street punk)

Kid: I said nice...FUCK! (street punk knocks kid out and attackas all of his friends.)

Street punk

A street punk is the last of a once noble and respectable subculture that's now been almost thoroughly commercialized. Still listens to genuine music made by genuine people without the frivolities of fancy recording equipment and without the shackles of a major record label. A true, untrammelled seeker of freedom. Many are hard drinkers. Most can shoot a boot to your temple faster then you can count to three. They are frequently some of the nicest, most open and accepting people around. But they can still whoop your ass in heartbeat.

Ian is a dyed-in-the-wool street punk, through and through.
