A genre of music that is less about the music and more about the message behind it. Very crashing, angry and emotional. These are the concerts with the mosh pits, girls and boys. These are the concerts where everything you've been pissed off about, from the bully at school to that last fight with Mummy & Daddy to the rape you don't tell anyone about comes to the surface. This is the genre where you can scream and hit and swear and nobody will ever question you. Whenever I listen to punk, it's like release in the purest form. That's the real stuff.
Punk rockers arn't all the stereotypical coloured-hair and various facial piercings. I've met punks who look like Susie Sunshine. And punk was not ruined, it was corrupted by a bunch of morons who were desperate for a quick buck. You can still find the real deal though. You just have to know where to look.

A Frank Zappa send up of the phoniness of the 60's "peace movement" and Time Warner hippies.
Constructed using blindingly sped up guitars and drums to replicate the hardcore speed freaks and other trippers, the song is designed to show how vapid the flower/peace movement really was.
The song was structured similar to Hendrix's "Hey Joe" who Frank admired and jammed with (Hendrix is featured on the cover of the album You're only in it for the Money in which Flower Punk is recorded). The call and response "hey punk..." is answered just like Hey Joe, a Billy Taylor song.
This is one of few Zappa songs not to have cover versions on the internet due to the fact this was mostly a studio/audio creation exemplifying Zappa's use of technology, not quite music concrete but a great example of Dada.

Contrary to what alot of people think about punk rock, it isn't a completely individualistic musical movement with no rules or boundries. If this were true, than pretty much anything could be punk rock, so long as the musicians intent was not adhere to any rules while composing the music. This would mean that classical, folk, new wave, pop, heavy metal, or any combination of the above, or a completely new genre of music never heard of before could all be punk. Bands such as mr bungle or fantomas who incorporate many genres into their music, and seem to never have two songs that sound the same should than be considered more punk than the ramones or the sex pistols, since they conform to no previous musical standards. The truth is that Punks tend to be very rigid about what they consider to be punk or not, more rigid than alot of people who listen to music other than punk. As soon as someone playing punk rock tries to incorporate some other genre into punk you'll here people say, "that's not punk, that's pop punk or new wave". Punk rock began, and is still considered today to be fast loud 3 chord rock and roll music characterized by either nihilistic lyrics about sex, drugs and violence, or some kind of anarcho-communist utopia. Some punks will say to you out of confusion that bands like avirl lavigne or simple plan aren't punk rock because they don't write their music or cause they are just playing music to conform to the rules of the masses, but who the hell are they to say that avril lavigne doesn't really believe what she's writing or playing is good, and she's just conforming to the masses. The fact is that Avril Lavigne will never be punk, not because she's dishonest, writing music just to make money and please people, but because she doesn't wanna have sex with a dog, drink whiskey by the gallon or shoot up heroin like dee dee ramone, iggy pop, sid vicious or captain sensible. Or Start some kind of anarchist or communist utopia like the clash, crass, dead kennedy's or bad brains. People get all caught up with the saying and doing whatever you want aspect of the music, but not enough on doing something that actually distinguishes you from the crowd, such as smoking crack, not brushing your teeth, living in a jungle, being an angry hippie ect.
Punk rock makes my parents ears bleed, and my grandma unrinate alot.

Up the punks
Don't know what the other gaytards defining this ancient battle cry are on about. "UP THE PöNX!" is how punks give themselves big ups, as the hippity hoppers say. "Big ups!" "Up the punks!" Get it? "Up the..." is a sorta antiquated British way of saying "Viva! " or "Three Cheers for" or "Hey! We're special! Good for us."
"My true friend and brother in arms! I am grateful for your friendship. Let us drink to the memory of better times and hope for the future! May we stay forever free and never succumb to the dehumanizing horror those who control society perpetrate against us! Let us drink drink drink till it's running out our ears! Til the pubs run out of beers!"
"Here here!"
"Huzzah!"
(Cheers erupt, an exuberant clattering of bottles and cans)
"Up the punks!"
"Alright, you're in. Now let's go smash things up!"
"Yay!"

A punk who is a conservative. Not an oxymoron. Its worth noting on Punk Magazine's original bottom 99 list in 1978 liberals were number 33.
Johnny Ramone is a conservative punk.

Any person who enters into a treatment facility and gives up there program for any reason and does not participate or get along well with others.
Also any person that tells you off or yells over the phone how they really feel about you and not have the the testicular fortitude to tell you to your face.
Recovery is not for Punk Bitches, participate in your recovery or face the consequences.
