Pseudo intellectual posers, with accessories from the street fair: Often lack any real long term-goals
Punk: “You would be nonconforming too if you look just like me”
Kid with low self-esteem: “Okay! I’m going to go downtown everyday and get high, and do acid and smoke cigarettes, and totally fuck up my life!”

punk isn't just a genre of music it's a way of life where you don't care who is looking do you want you want to and you don't take shit from other people.
punks also believe in war and fighting even over the littlest things!! a good fight always hurts something, but screw it who cares!!
DECLARE WAR ON THE ORDINARY!

Punk is a subculture that was originally begun with the objective of being anti-establishment, but is now actually the mainstream trend, thus rendering the very principle of punk null and void. What it takes to be a 'real' punk is unknown because every punk thinks every other punk is a poser.
Punk is often associated with anarchy, leading stores like Hot Topic to slap the anarchy symbol on everything possible, when, in fact, anarchy is the opposition to things like government and capitialism, etc., so to be a real anarchist, one would have to not buy things at the fucking mall, thus making 98% of punks under 18 total dumbasses.
Punk as a fashion style has been ground into the ground so hard I never want to see a studded belt ever again and as a musical form, punk has been cut up and incorporated into so many other styles, it's hard to find a 100% punk band anymore. But none of the following are punk bands or artists: Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Ashlee Simpson, Avril Lavigne, or any band ever called emo ever.
"Omg, this Ramones tee I'm buying at the Buckle in the lower of my local mall next to the Gap is, like, so punk!"

A fashion and genre of music originating from the mid 70s, thats all it is, it's never been truly anti establishment as it was all just a marketing ploy from the start, the Sex Pistols were essentially just an advertisement for Malcom Mclarens and Vivienne Westwoods fashion line, so in the end everyones a conformist who has bought into the rebellion and "anti-establishment"
do i really need an example? it's blatantly obvious punk's not "anti-establishment" as many people claim it to be, but people have the wool pulled over their eyes
it's good music though
