Punk is a lifestyle. Punk rock, anarcho punk, crust punk, pop punk, and '77 punk are genres. Do not let anyone tell you that punk is a music genre. Especially if this person considers Hot Topic to be a place to buy punk stuff. It is, in fact, the very thing that Johnny Rotten and all the other early punks were rebelling against.
Johnny Rotten may very well have been in the first punk rock band. The Sex Pistols came out of nowhere to shock the world with their first single, "Anarchy In The UK", completely taking the music industry for a roller coaster ride.
Johnny's US equivilent would probably have to be Jello Biafra, lead singer of the Dead Kennedys. Although Jello sang of revolution, similar to The Clash, the two had alot in common. Neither one seemed to have much disernable singing talent, but they both had more than enough to say.
Nowadays, punk is divided amongst many smaller factions. Usually, these punk factions (such as street punk) hate each other, defeating the whole purpose of the movement. They all want change, and think they'll do it by bickering amongst themselves because of whose band can play the most power chords in a minute. So, for this reason, many people say punk is dead. Or at least deserves to die.
"Punk is my favorite musical genre!"
"NO, stupid, punk is a lifestyle. Punk rock is a musical genre."

1. Those girls who are like, "I'm fucking cool and if you don't think so I don't care." Well you obviously DO care if you have to tell everyone about it. And calling yourself cool is so not cool. Didn't you learn anything in middle school?
2. The dancing like in Ashlee Simpson's La La video when she's in the parking lot wearing that white tanktop. You know, the kind that looks like you're about to fall flat on your face. And the shoes. And the pants! Man, what is this in thing about not looking like you have any curves? And if a person were to ask "Is that person a guy or a girl?", some snooty person would go "Does it matter?"
Yeah buddy. It does matter.
3. Trying to look like you're poor and you shop at the thirft store. People actually spend a bunch of money to look this way. Is it another supposedly open-minded thing? Trying to say that it doesn't matter if you're poor? Cause y'all seem pretty snobby and judgmental for people who see what's inside everyone else!
4. The whole thing where people do stupid things and act stupid ways and then get mad at you if you say anything. "I'M COOL AND IF YOU DON'T THINK SO I DON'T CARE!" No, actually, you're lame. You get straight A's but then you put 7 cookies all on one side of the pan and waste a bunch of electricity baking them. "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! I'M COOL! DO YOU HEAR ME??"
5. This whole indie thing! It's not indie if you're trying! Do you not realize how mainstream you are being with the pants and the shoes and the hair? And its hilarious how people will join those rating communities and in their applications write "I don't care if you don't like me!" And if your music isn't indie music then they don't accept you. So the people try really hard ot get the most indie bands they can so the other people will think they listen to cool music. Yeah. Not indie. Sorry.
6. Back to the baking thing. Have you ever gone to a coffee shop and noticed how they throw a bunch of chocolate chips on the tops of the muffins and call them "chocolate chip muffins"? And you know people are going "We don't need factory-made, brand name food," all snooty-like. You know what? I'm not even gonna get into this one. I think I'm just gonna buy a bunch of those muffins and shove them down Indie Guy's throat one after another while screaming, "I don't care what you think!"
That girl with the hair like a rooster and the too-small jacket thinks she's a punk!

1. a style of music that is rebelious and usually underground and usually anti everything that has to do with the government.
2. a way of life in that you are your only master. punks are rebellious, anti-everything that ends with an -ism (expet anarchism), and anarcchists, intimiting by their looks and proud mother fuckers. if you spend alot on your cloths when you are a punk you are a poser. punk cloths are usaully stolen, bought at pawn shops or thrift stores or made by themselfs. punks are usually stereotyped as annoying leather studed jacket, plaid pants and band shirt wearing jerks. that is not always true. those type of punks are usually more outgoing and fun to be around. they are called OI! punx and there are many more types of punks. such as the halloween punk, they are more dressed up in black and look like the guys from the misfits. there are the classic punkers which are more laid back on their clothing, their more about attitude than image. then theres posers, they are not punks at all but losers who need a life and stop trying to copy real punks. posers are main stream pop-punks, they dress like good charlette and green day and are happy go lucky and sing about girls.
1. the casualties, sex pistols, the ramones, cheap sex,etc..
2. -OI! punx- usually lower middle class to lower class. leather jacket, tight pants, studs and patches, multi-colored hair that is usually mohawked or liberty spiked.
-pop-punk- those who wear $50 baggies(baggie cloths). they think famous and dc ect. are punk.
-halloween punks- more dressed up punks who like to wear black. tey ussualy wear skelliton suits or somthing along thise lines.
-classic punks- they stick to their punk rock roots. somewhat intimidaiting in looks, but not as intimidating as OI! punx. more concerned with life issues than parties.

Punk is a lifestyle, type of music, and in some cases, a type of fashion. But it's more about music and lifestyle. Punk music was pretty much visibly started in NYC in the 1970's by The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and the Ramones. It caught on to London, with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, etc. The lifestyle is often careless, happy, you do whatever you want. These people do not care. If they just wanna punch some random person on the street, they'll do it. Drugs played a big part in punk in the past. Violence is a huge part. Punk pretty much died out when the Ramones broke up for good in the mid 90s. Now the only punk things are the old punk bands. And the few people that still live the lifestyle. It doesn't matter how you dress, much.
(Random girl): OMG! I'm SOOO punk! I have Converse, artificially store-ripped $60 jeans, and a shirt that says something like "God save the Queen" on it or whatever. And I LOVE Good Charlotte and Simple Plan!
(Real punk person): *punches random girl in the face without saying a word*
Punk: The Ramones. The Sex Pistols. Johnny Thunders.
Not punk: Good Charlotte. Simple Plan. Kelly Clarkson. (You can't mosh to Kelly Clarkson!!!)
