punk rock is a type of music usually 3 chord progressions but can be more. its generally short fast paced angst nihilistic music. punk started in the late 60's with lou reed and the velvet underground, iggy pop and the stooges, and the new york dolls. then in the mid 70s bands like the ramones and richard hell and the voidoids formed and began playing at the cbgb in new york. then quickly after that there were punk bands in the u.k. like the buzzcocks, the damned, the clash, and the sex pistols. they were more about making a statement than musical talent. there then was then L.A. scene with bands like the germs,x,black flag, and the weirdo's. then there were several other scenes like the DC scene with bands like minor threat and Bad brains. but there are many differant types of punk like pop punk bands like the ramones and the buzzcocks, which was catchy melodic tunes. theres Oi punk which is like the exploited and Sham 69, which is like more of the nazi punk type of music it is usually racist. theres ska/ragae ragae is like bob marley which may not generally be considered punk but it kinda goes along with it and is somewhat the influence for ska which is like faster raggae like operation ivy. theres hardcore which is like bands like the dead kennedys,bad religion,the germs,circle jerks, and black flag. theres new wave which most ppl may not consider to be a type of punk but it is whether or not u want to admit it, these bands are like devo,blondie, and duran duran. then there was grunge which was bands like nirvana, foo fighters, and soundgarden. umm thats about it but umm this is responding to an earlier post where someone said the new bands like gc and simple plan are just like boy bands with instruments lol i think thats pretty funny and its pretty true. umm but i dont think there is a specific term for "being punk" as ive heard people say. Jello said its thinking for yourself which i think is true and u should be independant and not some trendy ass "mall punk" ok well thats it.
i dont really have an example that i didnt already list up there ^

One who is influenced by techno/mod culture, and mixes their own funky style with that of the punk scene. In dress they are their own, and tend to have a unique, off-beat personality. They are probably counter-culture and an intellectual. Quite eccentric. Scientific/long name for them is "orthodox electro-punk misfit" or "orthodox electro-punk nerd".
"Wow, that new girl's so weird. She likes to wear eighties dresses and mosh to Madonna, what's her problem?"
"Oh, she's just one of those electro-punk kids. They like to call themselves 'orthodox electro-punk misfits' though."

Somebody who decides to rebel against their parents by listening to old punk bands (The Clash, Sex Pistols, etc.) and getting their parents to buy them £100 tartan trousers and leather jackets. I'm not saying Punk is bad, I'm just saying that when you spend £100 on a pair of trousers it's not exactly working class, is it? Excessive use of safety pins is another thing. I mean, the original punks of London used safety pins to hold their clothes together because they couldn't afford new clothes. Now all you get is people spending god knows how much on clothes with safety pins in them just so they can say they're punk and think they actually matter. True punk died in the 80s, now you're all just being silly.
Hey, look at that guy, that 'the clash' t-shirt cost him 30 quid. and my god, he's smoking! Fucking wanna-be Punk.

1.The Dresden Dolls
2.They combine the smoky cellars of a Weimar-era cabaret with the rock n' roll fury of Joan Jett, PJ Harvey and The Violent Femmes and you have a remote idea of what to expect when experiencing The Dresden Dolls.
3.Like Marmite, you either love em or hate em.
5.I LOVE EM!
"WOW! I love Punk Caberet"
"Punk Caberet is Freedom!"

Music for the sake of music. If it's played at a modern party and can be easily danced to, it's not punk.
These are some of the leading punk bands:
The Buzzcocks
Black Flag
Blondie
THE CLASH
The Damned
Dead Kennedys
Generation X (Gen X)
Greenday (but only Kerplunk, 1,039 / Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, Dookie, Nimrod, and some of American Idiot)
THE JAM (some say they're mod, but they're the epitome of punk)
The New York Dolls
The Pogues
The Pretenders
The Ramones
SEX PISTOLS
Stiff Little Fingers
Early U2
Ultravox
The Velvet Underground
The Who
Wire
XTC (believe me)
The Adverts
Iggy Pop
Magazine
Talking Heads
And there are so many more, I can't possibly list all the best
Go online. Look up No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion. That is punk music
oh, just so you know, there are no punk bands today
none

A genre of punk rock that has yet to actually appear on the scene. The music is known for its extensive use of traditional "four-chord" punk riffs, nasal vocals, political satire, discontent, general profanity, and hipster bashing. It is best listened to when played loudly. This term was officially coined by a disgruntled English teacher in her mid-twenties, lamenting the loss of angry, yet fun, music to listen to while slamming into sweaty show-goers.
"Punk's dead, man."
"No way! Have you even heard Disestablishminternet play a show? Nu-punk proves that punk's not dead."
