Punk music= Angry rock
That is the basis of punk.
Its a way of expressing yourself. Punk was started by The Sex Pistols, and the banner is now carried by many bands. Punk is one of the many strands of rock music, including metal , blues rock, and classic rock.
Theres a common misconception that you have to dress the part to listen to punk. It is total bs. It doesn't matter at all how you look. There is no need to get a mohawk, or rip ur fav tshirt. As long as you like the music, its fine by me
*NOTE*
ive been hearing that people are putting the jonas brothers under punk. that is bull shit. to do that is an insult to music itself.
jonas bros = a disney marketing plan
punk = real music
Punk bands:
The Sex Pistols

1. a male prison inmate fucking another male prison inmate in the ass
2. succesfully playing a practical joke on someone
Originally, the word "punk" was prison slang, meaning the first defintion. the second comes from the idea that fucking someone in the ass is a sign of disrespect (such as male dogs humping one another to show dominance, instead of sexual attraction, which could very well be the motive behind prison rape as well)
"here come' bubba, you 'bout to get f'd in the a' ok?"

It is what it is.
there are simply too many ideas and beliefs that go into being a punk, and as a result, there is no clear definition. However, a strong sense of self, the desire to see and experience new things, and a lack of sympathy towards societies beliefs and thought processes are all aspects of being a punk.
The only way to completely understand it is to go to a show and get in the pit. You will see people from all walks of life, dancing, singing and crowd surfing. It is here that you can see punks in their most natural state. Its also where you can see punks at their best because when someone does a stage dive, everyone holds them up, if someone falls down, everyone helps them up, if someone gets hurt, everyone helps them out.
So in a sense, punk is about individualism and nonconformity, but at the same time, its about helping others and making the world a better place. It is in this way that the idea of being punk becomes a contradiction.
I wanted to get a better understanding of what punk was, so I went to go see (insert a random punk band here). I didn't intend on going into the pit, but I did, and now I understand.

Nowadays, most people consider that punk doesn't exist anymore. Wrong...
When..
1. you are the master of your own fate
2. you are the gatekeeper of your life
3. you are the judge of all of your decisions
4. you suppress people who dare suppress you
5. you don't care at all
6. you resist people who are superior than you
7. you don't judge people through their knowledge, skill, livelihood, universal understanding
8. you live a carefree life
9. you are nobody's shadow
10. you are the defender of your personal likes
11. (like no. 6) you rebel from superiors who provoke you
12. you despise perfectionists
13. you don't let anyone corrupt your mind
14. you know what's good for you
15. you are just yourself....nothing else
...then that's the real punk in you..
These are PUNKS
1)It matters not how strait the gate,

punk is not a style, it is not wearing as many braclets as you can fit on your arm or spiking your hair. It is not about dressing in stripes or in Torn-up clothes or even how many times you've rammed a needle inside yourself. It is the way you live and breathe your life.
sex pistols and ramones are punk rock. that stupid emo crap you hear...AFI for instance would NOT be punk......so quit complaining about punk rock music being for fags until you learn what it is!
