Punk rock was originally about an uncontrollable rage and a rebellion against anything and everything. It got it's name from a music critic that said it reminded him of the 60's music he used to listen to. In the late sixties The Velvet Underground was around. They brought rock and roll back to what it started as. They laid the stones for all future punk and alternative bands. They inspired bands such as Iggy And The Stooges, ? And The Mysterians, The Ramones, New York Dolls, and U2. The Ramones started the punk phenomena. They inspired The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, Television, and Talking Heads. The Ramones went to England on tour and said it was a freak show with all of the colored hair. While there a bunch of kids appeared and told them that they were the guys that turned them on. Those guys were Johnny Rotten and Joe Strummer. Punk inspired a new genre called hardcore. Hardcore bands included Black Flag, The Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, and Bad Brains. Punk almost died in the 80's. It was brought back to life by Green Day, The Offspring, MXPX, Nirvana, and Tripl3 Thr3at.
Punk has been ruined. Now there are many fake punk bands. These are Blink 182, 311, Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, and FM Static.

A genre of rock that is more about the message than the music. Punk songs are usually, but not always, made up of 3 chords.
If you're not sure if a song is punk, listen to the lyrics. If they are not about standing up for something the artist believes in (ie: anti-censorship, anti-war, anti-racism, etc.) then it is NOT a punk song. Punk is about standing up and fighting for something you believe in. It has nothing to do with the image or the artist, or even how the melody of the song sounds.
Examples of punk bands:
Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion
Nonexamples of punk bands:
New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, MxPx, Ataris, Thursday
Wannabe: "Hey! I wear clothes from Hot Topic! I'm punk!"
Real punk: "No, you're a poser. Punk has nothing to do w/ the clothes you wear."

The new craze of fashion and mainly music. In all actuality, this is just normal punk with the "musicians" wearing goth clothes (i.e. all black, spikes, shredded clothes, arm bands to the elbow, stuff from Salvation Army, and multicolored hair). Bands like this are Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, etc...
If you actually listen to the lyrics of their songs and compare them to those of Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, or Rob Zombie, you'll find that you're just listening to whiny people with less production work, weaker non-distorted guitars, and cheesy lyrics.
Girl: yo! i just snagged this sweet tie from goodwill, now i look Avril
Guy: tight! i just bought Good Charlotte's new cd, i'm the coolest dude EVER!
Goth Guy: *stabs both with wrist spikes, spits on them, and steals their shit*

An extremely contradicting phrase. You can't be a conservative and a punk. Not only is it un-intelligent, but it is also very disgraceful and pathetic. A conservative punk doesn't exist today, and most likely won't later on.
Poseur: Lyke, totally you guys! I'm totally punk!
Punk: Really now? What are your political prefferances?
Poseur: Well, I'm like, totally a conservative because I like, hate black people and um... bush is lyke, totally awesome!
Punk: You poseur. What's you're favorite band, you so called "punk".
Poseur: Ahh! It's totally Simple Plan.
Punk: I'm not surprised. Punk is about disregaurding orders and ANARCHY! You are a disgrace to true punks everywhere.
Poseur: OMG! But I thought that it was lyke, for rich white girls like me!
Punk: Go suck one of your crappy ass Avril Lavigne CD's
Poseur: Oooook! yay!

A style of clothing but not really music. Anything with the term goth concentrates mostly on clothing and fashion among teens who think they are rebellious but are really just cowards who haven't learned to properly define themselves yet. Most little smart ass bastards involved in the craze don't know anything about real rock music or heavy metal.
Those "Goth punk" kids claim to be against conformity, yet in actuality they are no better than the other social clicks they claim to despise.

A style of punk which features catchier tunes than regular punk, and simple 3-4 chord riffs.
Screeching Weasel, The Queers, Mr. T Experience, The Descendents, The Ramones, Bouncing Souls, and the Teen Idols are pop-punk. Blink 182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and New Found Glory are not.
