most of teenager thinks being a punk is equals to dring cheap wine till getting totally drunk, listening to every sh*t music and asking money from unknown people for concert ticket! When I was a teenager I thought this too...now its changed! for me being a punk now its equals to be against the government(not always) and dont care about the others opininon what punk means for you?

i was a punk too in 80' 90', punk in that period was really different from today, now punk it's like be trandy, fashion, all what punk fight when it's born, punk was an attitude, music against the music, against the major, against the power sopruse, a stile of life maybe, but was really pure ;), now i'm just punk... inside

Well again what you see outside is not punk. What's inside you is what really matters. That's punk. The punk you see nowadays is not true. Media and other dumb shallow individuals are using the name to promote and earn from it. Punk is being raped by these kind of people but I have faith that these frauds will soon get tired and go to another subculture again to violate and exploit. That's what they're currently doing with emo. Sucks but thats life. Punk is the most truest art form and the most sincerest philosophy that could ever been. Its just there from the 60's , 70's, 80's, 90's to the present. They can never really eliminate it totally.

Punk is a lifestyle, attitude, sub culture, music, protest and all in all life totally. This sub culture breaks all the barriers especially class divisions. If you're a punk you don't care if you're with the elite, the middle or the poorest of the poor. It came way back from the 60's and flourished during the late 70's. Its not a reaction to hippiedom but instead its a rejection. It rebels from the norms that tells you to stay down and low. Punk gives you principles and strengthens it. Punk attitude is everywhere. It can be in your office, school or village. Punk is just not about spiked dye hairs, leather pants and studded belts. Clothes are just the color of it, kinda like the skin. What really matters is in the heart, mind and soul. Again, its individuality, if you dont understand what punk really means internally then you don't have it.

When I was a young boy i thought that being a punk is just a fashion that truth being a punk is delivered in theire own meaning that i know before that Punk was People Under New Kingdom of Satan.. But when i grew up I find my self so wrong I find that a punk is not only you can say punk it has a real meaning and real principle in life.. I find that there are many kind of punk there is street punk. ( a people that always want trouble, a people that always unite when they go to the concert) An anarchist Punk ( a people who fight against government) A straight Age Punk ( a people that dont have any vices they express their self as a model of the youth) A punk always express theire music when it comes to rhym to sounds so simple but when it comes to lyics you can say what the real punk is it.. A lyrics that has a deep meaning inside
