Upping the punx

Inside joke in the hcr, punk and, through some sort of internet voodoo magic, snickering indiekid communities. A way of pointing out that something or someone is flying the punk flag a bit too high.

Can also be used to point out that a punk has gotten old and gone corporate.

Punx: "Did you see American Hardcore yet?"
Hcr: "Yeah, Keith Morris sure was upping the punx with those dreads"
Snickering indiekid: "Heh." *blogs it*

Up the punx

To pull yourself together emotionally, physically and mentally in order to raise the bar in your life, despite what's going on around you.

Man nothing seems to be working out for me. You know what... fuck it... time to up the punx. I got this.

Up the punx

To make something considerably more "punk rock". Or, in contrast, to point fun at the lengths some will go to portray their punk rock attitude. A joke in punk rock, about punk rock.

"Oh, hey I like all the studs on your new leather jacket. It goes really well with your Casulties back-patch. Oh, yeah I'm sure they were really kick-ass at warped tour, up the punx...idiot."

"hey let's go commit acts of anarchy, like knocking over trash cans," suggested Punker Mike to his cronies.
"yeah, that would most definitely be up da punx -ing it all the way," the cronies replied in unison.
