"I'll tell you about punk rock. Punk rock is a word used by dilettantes and, uh... and, uh... heartless manipulators, about music... that takes up the energies, and the bodies, and the hearts and the souls and the time and the minds, of young men, who give what they have to it, and give everything they have to it. And it's a... it's a term that's based on contempt; it's a term that's based on fashion, style, elitism, satanism, and, everything that's rotten about rock 'n' roll.
I don't know Johnny Rotten... but I'm sure, I'm sure he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does as Sigmund Freud did. You see, what, what sounds to you like a big load of trashy old noise... is in fact... the brilliant music of a genius... myself.
And that music is so powerful, that it's quite beyond my control. And, ah... when I'm in the grips of it, I don't feel pleasure and I don't feel pain, either physically or emotionally. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Have you ever, have you ever felt like that? When you just, when you just, you couldn't feel anything, and you didn't want to either. You know, like that? Do you understand what I'm saying, sir?" - Iggy Pop
Punk Rock killed Punk Rock, and then killed himself.

A commited person to there beliefs. They do believe in freedom of expression. True punks are non-conformist. So this means they do what they want because they themselves want to infact do that, not because there friends convince them into changing. They want to make an impact on authority to change it for the better. They believe in rebellion, but for a cause thats worth it. They dont just become this way because of the music, the music is just mearly a small influence. They start up in this lifestyle because it fits there personallity. Also the way they dress just makes them feel like individuals, like someone different who wants to stay away from the flow and live on their own. And if partying is part of it,hey its worth it. They want to change peoples ways of thinking, to sort of open up there eyes to something new. Sure they might wear checkers and have mohawks, and liberty spikes,peircings or different colored hair, but why should that matter to others its just materialism.. so if they want to do that let them, its called freedom of choice..But over all they are pretty cool people, and usually are really smart, tough on the outside, but are mostly really nice,

the word the evil posers (AKA spawn of satan) use to besmirch the goodname of punk rock, bands like dead kenadys are real punk rock bands, not bloody avril lavigne or simple plan or good charlotte(who all just need to find a place to die). Also the girl who wrote the message above mine needs to be hit on the head with something very very heavy. (also i apolagise for my inhability to spell)
11 year old teeny bopper: Like omg! i just like bought the new avril lavigne album! IM SO PUNK RAWK!
Other 11 year old teeny bopper: Like omfg! me too! lets go put on our baby blue t-shirts that say PUNK in sparkly silver lettering, go down to Hot Topic and be punk together!
Me: please die, right now, i am not even joking

probably the coolest group of people you would ever meet. not cool as in they are the height of fashion and popular with everyone. cool as in, they are nice to people who respect the scene and dont stereotype people. they accept everyone and listen to peoples ideas and actually think about things while rocking out.
punk rockers ARE: cool, fun, thoughtful, intelligent, understanding
punk rockers are NOT: all potheads, stuck up, or selfish

A "punk" that is either A. stuck in the past and convinced that The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys and Clash are the only real punk bands B. Firm in his/her belief that his worldview is the only correct one, e.g. intolerant or C. takes his role of being "an anti-establishment, anti-racist, anti-religion soldier on the front lines of an urban war between classes" a wee bit too seriously. They are generally out of touch with punk music and being punk e.g. not giving a fuck and just doing as they will. They are also usually elitist pricks.
Dumb Punk: "Man the racism in the world pisses me right the fuck off."
Punk: "Yea me too man, its bullshit."
Dumb Punk: "Lets go kill all the white men because they are the oppressors!!!"
Punk: "The fuck? You're white and a male asshole."
Dumb Punk: (shoots himself in face)
Dumb Punk: "Sup faggot, what are you listening to?"
Punk: "I actually am gay asshole, and this local band i met at a show the other night."
Dumb Punk: "Fuck them pussy, they are just copying off of the Ramones."
